Setting final output

I checked the redirect() code again and noticed it was only while the site was
down. I only glanced before and thought you were redirecting your main site which
does have a a minor performance penalty and should only be used when required.

I think that _remap() will have a very tiny performance hit but neglible because
the code is parsed on your server before being passed to the browser;

I do not like a site being down not even for a very short time


I would be tempted to duplicate your existing application folder and debug
and/or modify then make it live by changing the index.php $application_path

I use a separate file to:

1. start the session with session_start()
2. reset $_SESSION['_MENU_']
3. select a new $_SESSION['_MENU_']
4. redirect to index.php
5. test for the $_SESSION['_MENU_'] and set index.php -> $application_path

index.php file.

Code:

$application_folder = isset($_SESSION['_MENU_']) ? $_SESSION['_MENU_'] : "ci_jokes";

Very little works because of upgrading from CI_1.72 to CI2
