How to redirect using $this-session-userdata(country_territory)

You can store the users id in the session then assign it to the view data.

PHP Code:

$data['userID'] = $userID; 


Then in your view you can create the link like so or use CodeIgniters anchor helper.

PHP Code:

<a href="<?= base_url('adverts/createadvert/'.$userID);?>">Create Advert</a> 


Thanks InsiteFX. I've created the variable in the Adverts Controller-

PHP Code:

$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id'); 


And this link in the view-

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php base_url('createadvert/'.$user_id);?>">CreateAdvert</a> 


My system rejected the above, first by the 2nd "=" so I deleted that, but it is still giving an error.

I realize I need to do a lot more work. Once the advert is created I want it saved by the user_name presumably in the root directory.

However, I first want to get the Layout to work.
