Question

I am using CodeIgniter and I have two different controllers – login.php and site.php

In login.php

function credentials(){
    $user = $this->input->post('username');
    // there is some code here
}

In site.php, I have function members_area() I need to pass the variable $user from login.php to site.php. How do I do this ?

Thanks

If you are talking about user logins here.. In your Login controller you verify user credentials. If so then you need to set a session variable

$this->sessions->set_userdata('user_id',$user_id);
redirect('site/members_area');

Then in your Site controller you retrieve the data for that user from DB.

$current_user = $this->sessions->userdata('user_id');

And you get your required data from DB.
