URI not as expected after running controller function - El Forum - 02-24-2011

[eluser]imcl[/eluser]
Hello friends,

Say my current URI is

Code:
mysite.example.com/profile/user

When I run the upload_avatar controller that's inside profile.php

Code:
//  mysite.example.com/profile/upload_avatar

    function upload_avatar() {

        if ($this->input->post('upload')) {

            $this->profile_model->upload_avatar();

        }

        $this->user();

    }

I expected that function to run and the resulting URI to be

Code:
mysite.example.com/profile/user

because of the last line containing

Code:
$this->user();

But instead, what happens is that the upload_avatar function runs OK, the page is reloaded as expected but the resulting URI now shows

Code:
mysite.example.com/profile/upload_avatar

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks.
