Redirect to controller specific function w/parameters - El Forum - 05-30-2010

Hi guys, this is my first time here. I've been learning CI for a quick project. It's been a couple of days now and I think it was a great choice so far.
Anyway, I have a specific doubt that couldn't solve in this few days.
In my routes.php:
Code:
$route['admin/pages/edit/(:num)'] = 'admin/admin/edit_page/$1';On my Admin Controller I have the function:
Code:
function edit_page($page_id) {
...
}And in some point in edit_page I I'm doing some redirects like: redirect('admin/pages/edit/' . $page_id)
But, I'd feel it much more natural to do this: redirect('admin/admin/edit_page/', $page_id). This way, URLs wouldn't have to be so coupled in the code.
Is the first usage the way we're supposed to do this or am I missing something?
Thanks!

The redirect() function takes other arguments: after the location you can specify the method and the http status code. So, yes your first example is correct. The url must be in the first argument completely.
I can understand that you'd like to keep things as separate as possible. But on the other hand it is more of a visual difference than anything else right?

Thanks for the reply.
Well, the main reason would be not to depend on urls.
If I can do a redirect directly to the controller function, like:
Code:
redirect('admin/admin/edit_page/', $id)Anyway, it's good to know I'm on the right track.

Oh, I think I see what you mean now. You mean that CI would call the function in the right controller immediately?
That would give all kinds of problems. For instance: what would be the right values for $this->uri? What would happen with caching?
No, if you use redirect() it sends a header() command and completely reloads the page. It's not happening inside CodeIgniter, but basically making a brand new request. And therefore it will always go through .htaccess and all your routes again.
