codeigniter download problem

when using download helper in Ci, I get file download pop up as开发者_Go百科 page load , how do i stop that ?

working as intended, if you want to stop it, stop using the download helper.

the download helper sends the appropriate headers so that the file is forced to download to the users desktop/downloads

what are you trying to do ?

edit Ok so say your controller is called "download" and your method is called "view" which displays links to your downloads like this:

mysite.com/download/process/foo.pdf

create a method in your download controller called process

function process($file)
{
    $this->load->helper('download');
    $data = file_get_contents("my-downloads/$file"); // Read the file's contents
    force_download($file, $data);            
}

untested but it should work

you will want some validation etc.

so the user views the downloadable files on downloads/view and when they click a link, they go to the process method to download the file.

you will probably want a redirect or similar after the file download starts, and i expect you could do it with AJAX so the user never leaves the page.

Try this:

function do_download($file_name="")
{
    $file_path = 'custom/uploads/project/'.$file_name;
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name");
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file_path);
}
