{
$this->load->model('vacancy_model');
$this->load->model('profile_model');
$this->load->model('search_agent_model');
$this->load->helper('url');

$data=array();
if (($this->session->userdata('email'))== NULL)
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', 'Please login to view this page.');
redirect('home/index/-'.$var);
}
$email=$this->session->userdata('email');
$user_id= $this->profile_model->get_id_by_email($email);
$search_agents = $this->search_agent_model->get_search_agents($user_id);
$rows = $search_agents->num_rows();
if($rows>=3)
{
redirect('/seeker/my_searches', 'refresh');
echo "[removed]alert('You cannot create more than 3 search agents');[removed]";
}

try it like this way

Code:

redirect('/seeker/my_searches','refresh');

or this

Code:

redirect('my_searches','refresh');

edit:
try it without refresh

[eluser]max123[/eluser]
Both are not working. Also there are no 'echo' statements above the redirect function. I'm struggling for hours to solve this. Please help if u have time

Thanx

Code:

$this->load->helper('url');

can you show me the full part of this code??

Code:

if($rows>=3)
        {
            redirect(’/seeker/my_searches’, ‘refresh’);
                  echo “[removed]alert(‘You cannot create more than 3 search agents’);[removed]”;
        }
                //———-some more codes

EDIT:

there should be no white spaces.

instead of

Code:

if($rows>=3)
            {
                redirect('/seeker/my_searches','refresh');
                 echo "[removed]alert('You cannot create more than 3 search agents');[removed]";
            }

try

Code:

if($rows>=3)
            {
                redirect('seeker/my_searches','refresh');
                
            }

[eluser]max123[/eluser]
I don't understand about the white space. Also I can't find the extra white space i my code.
