Login

Hi I am new to codigniter, and I am a beginner at php.

I am having trouble setting the "authentication system", that said, I can log in, log out and verify if user is logged in.

But I wanted to be able to prevent access to pages by a user that is not logged in and send the user to the login page.

I have tryed :
inside /Helpers/functions_helper.php
function check_session()
{
  if (!isset($_SESSION['login_utiliz'])) {
    return redirect()->to(base_url('login'));
  }
}

load it in Base_controller:
  protected $helpers = ['paths', 'functions'];

and use it on header view:

<?php
check_session()
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

so that when a page that is loaded with this header it would check for the session attribute 'login_utiliz'

is my logic wrong, is there any other examples i can follow, I couldn't find answers on codeigniter 4 documentation.

Thank you for your help.
