looks like directory helper works also. sweet.
Now for my next challenge:
I want to be able to have users follow a link in an email that goes to a function that will let them download a file that outside of the root.
This means using headers (force download - the download helping class).
However, I cannot pass GET parameters to CI, so how could I accomplish this? The URL in the email needs to be able to specific which folder and which user it belongs to (basically, it needs to transfer two pieces of information).
Can I still use the URI in some way??
edit: reading the manual ftw. yay.
