[solved] die() function

[eluser]tuckee[/eluser]
thanks for your reply.

Roy: if i remove die(), it will still run the function "runthis"

initially i thought of doing this

Code:

function check_user()
{
$logged_in_type = $this->session->userdata('type'); //retrieve data from session
if ($logged_in_type == '')
{
  $data['heading'] = 'Sorry!';
  $data['content']="Fail";
  $this->load->view('general_view', $data);
  die();
}
}

function runthis()
{
$this->check_user();
echo 'success';
}

Jason : when u say return do you mean I have to do this?

Code:

function check_user()
{
$logged_in_type = $this->session->userdata('type'); //retrieve data from session
if ($logged_in_type == '')
{
  return false;
}
}

function runthis()
if ($this->check_user())
{
  $data['heading'] = 'login sucess!';
  $data['content']="success";
  $this->load->view('general_view', $data);
}
else
{

  $data['heading'] = 'Sorry!';
  $data['content']="Fail";
  $this->load->view('general_view', $data);
}

i know this will work but there r many function that is needed to check if user has login. if i were to use this way, there are too many copy n paste if else code for each function.
Did i interpret your reply wrongly?
