Admin directory

[eluser]WebbHelp[/eluser]
Hi!

I got a directory there I only got the admin files.
I want to check if the admin is logged in, and got permission to see the pages.

Do i need to check it in every function in the class?

Thanks //Webbhelp

You can use a constructor. Constructors are ran when the class is instantiated.

If your on PHP4 then create a method with the same name as the class and then put your code into this method to check the users authentication. If your on PHP5 create a method named __construct and then put your code into this method to check the users authentication.

Yes maybe ,that seems to be a good idé.
But, in codeigniter index, is running first, can i write in in that function to?

And if the visitor don't have permisson the the site, what can I do then, so the other functions can't be runned?

Thanks

Just check for the proper creds in the constructor and if they shouldn't be there redirect them to the page they should be at.

[eluser]WebbHelp[/eluser]
Yes, that is a smart and a simple way, I like it, thanks

Just a question, is it possible in a easy way to give them a message and deny them from the other function?

Thank you so much for helping me

What I usually do is set a message in flashdata.

[eluser]WebbHelp[/eluser]
Sorry, but what do you mean?

Thanks

Before your redirect:

Code:

$this->session->set_flashdata(''message', 'You were redirected because...');
redirect();

and then at the page you redirected to you can access the message with:

Code:

$this->session->flashdata('message');

Aha, Now I understans sry

Thank you very much for reply, this is helping me much!

Btw, What do you recommended: use PHP standard sessions or Codeigniters session-class?

Thanks

I use both depending on my needs.

The CI session library is good but use whichever suits your needs best.
