CI nob - session login system

[eluser]nuwanda[/eluser]
I have a helper for this sort of thing.

For instance, I have this:

Code:

function is_admin()
{
  $CI =& get_instance();

  if(isset($_SESSION['user_role']) AND $_SESSION['user_role']=='admin')
    {
      return TRUE;
    }
  else
  {
  return FALSE;
  }
}

Which checks to see if a session variable called user_role is set to admin. If so, I allow access.

This requires that you set session variables correctly during user login.

I autoload the helper so it's always handy.

I use it like:

Code:

if(is_admin())
{
  //show some admin-only stuff here
}
