Redirect not working
#1

[eluser]webnology[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

I have a simple redirect in my code, which is simply not working. It gets on an empty, blank ,white page. Any idea what could be wrong?

Code:
redirect('/customers/dashboard', 'refresh');

Many thanks,
Michel

Hi Michael,

Could you possibly provide a little more code? Perhaps you could provide the code for your controller/model where you are calling the 'redirect' and also the controller for '/customers/dashboard'?

Hey Michael,

true. Here's some more info. It's the cotroller where I add the form to the db.

Code:
function addCustomer() {
    
            //Validate if user is logged in. If not load login view
            if ($this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {

                //Set validation rules
                $this->form_validation->set_rules('firstname', 'Voornaam', 'required');
                $this->form_validation->set_rules('lastname', 'Naam', 'required');
                $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'E-mail', 'required');    
                $this->form_validation->set_rules('birthday', 'Verjaardag dag', 'required');    
                $this->form_validation->set_rules('birthmonth', 'Verjaardag maand', 'required');    

                //Load views with data depending on error or success
                if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {

                    //General info for the page
                    $data['title'] = 'Klant toevoegen';
                    $data['user_is_logged_in'] = $this->tank_auth->is_logged_in();
                    
                    //Load form view for adding a customer
                    $this->load->view('v_addcustomer', $data);
                }
                
                else {

                    //Add data to the tables
                    $formdata = array(
                        'lastname' => $this->input->post('lastname'),
                        'firstname' => $this->input->post('firstname'),
                        'gender' => $this->input->post('gender'),
                        'birthday' => $this->input->post('birthday'),
                        'birthmonth' => $this->input->post('birthmonth'),
                        'address' => $this->input->post('address'),
                        'postalcode' => $this->input->post('postalcode'),                    
                        'city' => $this->input->post('city'),                                        
                        'mobnr' => $this->input->post('mobnr'),                                        
                        'fixednr' => $this->input->post('fixednr'),
                        'email' => $this->input->post('email'),                    
                        'memo' => $this->input->post('memo'),                                            
                        'flag_sms' => $this->input->post('flag_sms'),                                            
                        'flag_email' => $this->input->post('flag_email')
                        );

                        $this->db->set('user_id', $this->tank_auth->get_user_id());
                        $this->db->insert('customers', $formdata);

                        //Redirect to success page
                        redirect('/customers/dashboard/');
                }
            
            }
            
            //User is logged out
            else {
            
                //General info for the page
                $data['user_is_logged_in'] = FALSE;
    
                //User needs to be logged in, redirect to login page
                $data['show_captcha'] = FALSE;
                
                //Add 1 in the 3rd segment to show that the user wants to add a band.
                redirect('/auth/login/');
            }
        }


I also get these 2 errors:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)
Filename: libraries/Session.php

All help appreciated,

Hi Michael,

The error you are getting is a common one and suggest that something is being printed/echoed to screen before the redirect takes place. This is why you are getting the message 'Cannot modify header information'. This may be in another controller/method/function somewhere before where you call the 'store user function'.

Let us know how you get on or if you require any further help.

Regards,

yeah, as Xclamation Design has said, you're printing/echo'ing something somewhere. I often get this message during development, often I have a print_r statement in my model where I've been checking output from the DB, that I've forgotten to delete.
