Session Not Working Properly in _construct - El Forum - 09-10-2014

Hi,
I am having a problem with sessions, its not working properly in one of Controller. Let me explain with code
Controller
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class User extends CI_Controller {
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->check_isvalidated();
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('inc/above_header');
$this->load->view('inc/header');
$this->load->view('user_dashboard');
$this->load->view('inc/footer');
$this->load->view('inc/below_footer');
}
function dashboard()
{
$this->load->view('inc/above_header');
$this->load->view('inc/header');
$this->load->view('user_dashboard');
$this->load->view('inc/footer');
$this->load->view('inc/below_footer');
}
private function check_isvalidated(){
$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
$validated = $this->session->userdata('validated');
if(!isset($validated) && $validated =="" && !isset($user_id) && $user_id ==""){
redirect('login');
}
}
}Now the problem is it should redirect user to login page if user not logged in, but instead its showing user the content.

$this->session->userdata('validated') will return FALSE if it doesn't find a 'validated' key in the userdata array.
So your conditional could be:
if(!$validated || $user_id < 1) //assumes $user_id is an integer
I changed the && to || figuring you'd want to redirect on either condition.

@jcorry I'd use tripple operator to check whether the value exists in session so you actually check for boolean false, because many times 0 is an actual legitimate value in session so your (!) check wouldn't allow it.
Code:
