Question

How to handle redirections with codeigniter?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Could be easy to fix or it could be also difficult to fix, look at the documentation about uri routing http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html

In my test app i use this vars

$route['default_controller'] = "main";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";

main is a controller so if you visit your site it call at first the controller main

in your case i would use something like this

$route['admin/:num'] = "catalog/products";

This would redirect any access to admin/* to catalog/products

Be creative ;-)

Flashdata is your friend, follow that link and about halfway through the page you'll find the docs for flashdata.

Basically if your form functions are successful you set flashdata with your success message, $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'You successfully did something, yay!'); Now redirect to your admin page. redirect('admin','refresh'); on your admin page check for existing flashdata and echo it to the user

Hi,

I think you should instead use this aproach:

instead of calling the admin view or redirect the header, you should send the post from the form direct to the admin function, inside the admin function if the $_POST variable is not empty means that you should save the data in database calling other function in the same controller or in one model example:($this->save_data_in_database();) and send the result of it to the view again. If the $_POST variable is empty you should call the admin view and send the data for message as NULL.

I send one example bellow:

View Admin: (Post Directly to the admin function in controller)

<html>
(...)
<body>

<?php echo $message_response; ?>

<form method="post" action="<domain>/index.php/admin" />
   <imput (...)     
</form>

</html>

Controller:

function admin() 
{
   if (isset($_POST['fieldname']))
        $data['message_response']=$this->save_data_in_database($params...);
   else
        $data['message_response']=NULL;       

  $this->load->view('admin', $data);  
}


function save_data_in_database($params...)
{

(save data to database etc...)

return (...message_to_display...);

}

Best Regards,
Pedro
