Constructor in controller is behaving strangely - El Forum - 07-05-2012

In my controller, I'm checking if a session variable is set. If it is, then I know the user is logged in and I can display the site. If not, then I'll display the login page.
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Admin extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$user_email = $this->session->userdata('user_email');
if(!empty($user_email)) {
$this->index();
} else {
$this->login();
}
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('admin/home');
}
public function login()
{
$this->load->view('admin/login');
}
}The problem with this is it's loading both the home and the login views. What's the deal?

redirect("admin/login");
}
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('admin/home');
}
public function login()
{
$this->load->view('admin/login');
}
}ex: u have admin panel controller,
if u visit admin it will load by default the index()
if there was a function given it will then admin/(function)
...
u see...
it should do anything when user is logged in, if he isnt then just redirect him to login page...

The constructor can do logic, but can't output other controller methods. Use it to check for your login, but not to display views (or load methods that display views).

Hmm... when I do this, it just loops the redirect part.

Well its cause U should have an seperate controller responding for user authorization...
Like a members controller with reg and login...
and it should redirect to "members/login"...
