Failed to load pdf file when uploaded on server. Codeigniter hmvc

i have this show uploaded pdf file on my localhost my view is

<?php
  // retrieve your info ecc.
  $url = $content->PATH;
  $filename = $content->FILE_NAME;
  header('Content-type: application/pdf');
  header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $filename. '"');
  header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
  header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
  @readfile($url);
?>

just to be clear

$content->PATH and $content->FILE_NAME are data from database

$content->FILE_NAME is $file_name = $file_data['file_name'];

and $content->PATH = base_url().'uploads/pdf/'.$file_name;

now it perfectly works on my localhost, but on the server, it looks like this

enter image description here

the link to this is

 $row[] = '<a href = "http://146.88.72.53/CaloocanCity/PDFuploads/pdffile/'.$info->ID_NUM.'/'.$info->DOC_NO.'/'.$info->FILE_NAME.'" class = "btn btn-sm btn-info pull-left fa  fa-question-circle" title="Show File">&nbsp Show File</a>";

what is the error of this ? how can i solve this?

Try with CI built-in download helper class

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