Check a function before doing anything?

Hello,
I want to check a function (for example $this->auth->is_login()) before doing anything in controller?
Note:
1- I check it in any control
2- If false goto login else view page.


How can I have this without code in my controllers?

i think you can do this :
- create a controller in /core/ that extends CI_Controller and call your function in constructor function of that class,
- your other controllers must extend your controller class,

example , i use this base class for my project, notice you must use MY_ (or any that you set in config) instead of N2_

Code:

class N2_Controller extends CI_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        $this->auth->is_login();
        parent::__construct();
    }
}

and your other controllers :

Code:

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Child_controller extends N2_Controller {

    public function index(){

    }
...

CI is nice

Do you want to check if a function exists or if the result of your function exists ? I say that because your example looks like checking if $this->auth->is_login() == TRUE.
If you want to check if a method in a class exists, you can use method_exists() or is_callable().
Be careful : method_exists() will return true (or false) for a private/public/protected method whereas is_callable() returns true (or false) for only public method in a class and all method like __call.

I used a 'post_controller_constructor' hook to do this:

Hook in config/hooks.php:

PHP Code:

$hook['post_controller_constructor'] = array(
    'class'     => 'Auth',
    'function'  => 'check',
    'filename'  => 'Auth.php',
    'filepath'  => 'hooks',
); 


Check Function in hooks/Auth.php:

PHP Code:

   public function check()
    {
        // get the current controller and method from the url
        $controller     = $this->CI->uri->segment(1,'none');
        $method         = $this->CI->uri->segment(2,'none');

        // if the user is not logged in && the request is not requests or login
        if ((!$this->CI->User->isLoggedIn) && ($controller != 'requests') && ($method != 'login') ) {
            redirect('/requests/login');
        }
    } 


See the docs for reference. Good luck.
