Code:
First I have the following folder structure:

BookShop     ----&gt; Project Name

  CodeIgniter

       images

Now inside the 'images' folder I have a pic file named rr.jpg.

I have the following controller class 'UserController' where I have written the following function :

&lt;?php

    class UserController extends CI_Controller

    {

        public function __construct()

        {

            parent::__construct();

            $this->load->helper('url');

            $this->load->helper('captcha');

            $this->load->helper('html');

            $this->load->library('form_validation');

            $this->load->library('cart');

            $this->load->helper('download');

            $this->load->model('UserModel','um',TRUE);

        }

        public function test()

        {

            $this->load->view('testing');

        }

?&gt;

In the views I have written the following within a php webpage which I named 'testing.php' :

&lt;html&gt;

    &lt;head&gt;

        &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt;

        &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title>

    &lt;/head&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

        &lt;?php

        $data = file_get_contents(base_url().'/images/rr.jpg'); // Read the file's contents

        $name = 'rr.jpg';

        force_download($name, $data);

        ?&gt;

    &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Now in the routes which is within the config folder I have written the following :

$route['tmp']="UserController/test";

Now when I am executing the file,the file is getting downloaded but its not showing the picture within the file.When I am opening it with Fax-Viewer its saying "No preview available" why?.The above code in views, I got from internet.

If anybody can help....thank u. Sandip Ray.

Have you tried the path

'../images/rr.jpg'

Instead of using a full path (remove the base_url().)

I dont think file_get_contents likes to get files that are not local (even though it is, the link looks external)

Worth a try!

Remove base_url()

Just try with

Code:
$data = file_get_contents('images/rr.jpg'); // Read the file's contents

        $name = 'rr.jpg';

        force_download($name, $data);
