Login redirect - El Forum - 03-10-2008

I'm just wondering if this is best way to implement this. Opinions needed.
Basically if a user accesses a page that is requires to login, the user is redirected to the login page but after login, I want the user to be redirected back to the page he wanted.
So in my check_permissions I have the following...
Code:
if ($this->session->userdata('logged_in') == FALSE)
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('return_url', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); // keep url before redirect
redirect('login', 'location');
}And in the login page I basically have (pseudocode) ...
Code:
if login failed
if $this->session->flashdata('return_url')
$this->session->keep_flashdata('return_url'); // keep url in flashdata
view->login form
else
// Success login
$this->session->set_userdata('logged_in');
if $this->session->flashdata('return_url')
redirect($this->session->flashdata('return_url')
else
redirect('main', 'location');Login redirect - El Forum - 03-10-2008

The idea seems correct. However, insted fo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] you should use $this->uri->uri_string() method.

Ah yeah. That's the function I was looking for. I remember it had it but forgot the name. Thanks.
