redirect()

URL Helper

This statement resides in the URL helper which is loaded in the following way:

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

The redirect function loads a local URI specified in the first parameter of the function call and built using the options specified in your config file.

The second parameter allows the developer to use different HTTP commands to perform the redirect "location" or "refresh".

According to the Code Igniter documentation: "Location is faster, but on Windows servers it can sometimes be a problem."

Example:

if ($user_logged_in === FALSE){     redirect('/account/login', 'refresh');}

If your directory structure is like this,

site  application         controller                folder_1                   first_controller.php                   second_controller.php                folder_2                   first_controller.php                   second_controller.php

And when you are going to redirect it in same controller in which you are working then just write the following code.

 $this->load->helper('url');    if ($some_value === FALSE/TRUE) //You may give 0/1 as well,its up to your logic    {         redirect('same_controller/method', 'refresh');    }

And if you want to redirect to another control then use the following code.

$this->load->helper('url');if ($some_value === FALSE/TRUE) //You may give 0/1 as well,its up to your logic{     redirect('folder_name/any_controller_name/method', 'refresh');}

first, you need to load URL helper like this type or you can upload within autoload.php file:

$this->load->helper('url');if (!$user_logged_in){  redirect('/account/login', 'refresh');}
