Question

I create a login page creating at first the controller using codeigniter php and loading the view. When I login in the page the url …/login doesn’t change in index (that is the page loaded) but remain login. how can I change in this way when I login correctly the url became /index?

Answer 1

After the login was successful, you can use redirect('controller/method'); to redirect the user where you want.

Don’t forget that to be able to use redirect function, you should have loaded the url helper in controller’s __construct() method or in config/autoload.php file to call the helper in the entire application.

How to load url helper in __construct() function?

function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct(); // Don't forget to call the parent constructor in this method

    // Now we can easily load our desired stuff
    $this->load->helper('url');
}

Or you can load it just after successfull login in login() method.

Take a look at http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html for more information.
