I'm not getting how to do this codeignitor concept.
How to redirect one page to another page if I click the link?
Main1.php
<?php
class Main1 extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
//Load the URL helper
$this->load->helper('url');
//Redirect the user to some site
redirect('http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/Main');
$this->load->view('test1');
}
}
?>
test1.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>view page</title>
</head>
<body style="padding-top:50px; padding-left:300px">
<h1 style="color:red"> Without Extension </h1>
<a href="">Visit With Extension Example</a>
</body>
</html>
Main.php
<?php
class Main extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$this->load->view('test.html');
}
}
?>
test.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>view page</title>
</head>
<body style="padding-top:50px; padding-left:300px">
<h1 style="color:red"> With Extension </h1>
</body>
</html>
You can use redirect(); something like given below.
redirect('controllerName/methodName','refresh');
OR
if you want to redirect in same controller.
$this->methondName;
Your code should be like this
<?php
class Main1 extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
//Load the URL helper
$this->load->helper('url');
//Redirect the user to some site
redirect('Main/index','refresh');
}
}
?>
in your Main1.php index function , loading view after redirecting. It is not possible.
Main1.php
class Main1 extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
//Load the URL helper
$this->load->helper('url');
//display test1 page
$this->load->view('test1');
}
}
?>
test1.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>view page</title>
</head>
<body style="padding-top:50px; padding-left:300px">
<h1 style="color:red"> Without Extension </h1>
<a href="http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/Main">Visit With Extension Example</a>
</body>
</html>
Main.php
load->view('test.html');
}
}
?>
test.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>view page</title>
</head>
<body style="padding-top:50px; padding-left:300px">
<h1 style="color:red"> With Extension </h1>
</body>
</html>
It is a small error..keep going with codeigniter
you can use either
redirect('controllerName/methodName','refresh'); in your controller or if you want to just load the previous page you can use redirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
Suppose you want to redirect from Controller Main1 to Main. Main1 loads the test1.php view, and it should contain a means to redirect from one view to another, like a button or a link. You should have a .php extension instead of .html to utilize php. Consider this as a best practice and you should avoid calling controllers within a controller as a normal practice to conform with MVC in general.
Test1.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>view page</title>
</head>
<body style="padding-top:50px; padding-left:300px">
<h1 style="color:red"> With Extension </h1>
<a href="<?php echo site_url("Main/"); ?>">Visit With Extension Example</a>
</body>
</html>
If you call Main then the controller will be processed. No need for you to use redirect inside the controller.
<?php
class Main extends CI_Controller {
public function index() {
$this->load->view('test');
}
}
?>
