Session best practice question

[eluser]maadmac[/eluser]
How do you normally direct logged in users? My initial inclination would be something like this:

Code:

<?php if ($this->session->userdata['logged_in'] == true) redirect('/somewhere'); ?>

at the top of each page. But I'm running into a 'headers sent' issue, and so I'm wondering if I should try to address it via ob_flush or move the code somewhere else on the page, so the headers get sent first, or something else? Any tips are appreciated, thanks.

I'd put that in the controller constructors instead of in the view. To avoid repetition, you could create an application/base controller with that code in its constructor and extend it for all pages that require a login.

Hi Rick,

That makes sense, thanks. And sorry if this is a noob question, but would you mind clarifying what you mean by creating and extending a base controller?

Thanks!
