Return data from controller to another php file

[eluser]Byrro[/eluser]
Hello,

I´m using TinyMCE wysiwyg text editor in my website, which has an image upload manager plugin. This plugin has its own session auth system, but I´m rewriting it to use the session handler from CI.

My goal is: the plugin´s auth system returns true/false if the user is logged. I already have an auth based on CI, using encrypted session, for all the CMS. The plugin´s auth system is outside CI and can´t access its classes. I´m trying to make it (image manager auth) call a controller method inside my CI (pointing an external URL). Inside this method, I´ll check for the user session and return true/false to the plugins´s auth system.

How can I send information from this controller method to an outside php file? Do you have any tips?

Thank you!

You can't return values over an http request, they have to be output. This output is then usually passed as a parameter to a success function... If it's anything more complicated than a boolean or string value, you will generally want to use json_encode() to make your life easier.
