Redirect inside Constructor NOT WORKING

Redirect now returns a class instead of just setting headers. You cannot return an instance of another class while instantiating a different class in PHP.

Check out Controller Filters

Thank you Sir !

I am sooo used to use CI3 that I forgot a little bit about the PHP itself...

I am very eager to use Myth Auth in my projects... But, meanwhile, I am using Ben´s Ion Auth 4 ...

The point is that I want to make my code cleaner and I am checking for login in the constructor or in the baseController.

Do you have any tips about the best way of doing it ?

I am doing like this:

PHP Code:

    public function checkLoggedIn()
    {
        //Checks if user is LOGGED IN 
        if (!$this->ionAuth->loggedIn()) :

            if ($this->request->isAJAX()) :

                $data = [
                    's' => false, //Success = False
                    'm' => 'Not Logged In' //Message to be returned
                ];

                header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); //Status Code 401 = Unauthorized
            
                echo json_encode($data);

                exit;

            endif;

            header("Location: /auth");

            exit;

        endif;
    }
