Codeigniter - redirect

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
hi there,


i face a problem when using redirect function.

What i want to do redirect if user successfully login.

if (!$userID) {
$this->session->set_flashdata('login_error', TRUE);
} else {

$this->session->set_userdata(array(
'logged_in' => TRUE,
'userID' => $userID,
'username' => $username));

redirect("welcome_page");
}


however,the new link is like that
<a href="http://www.ressim.net/i/5512048_painterror-png.html"><img src="http://img1.ressim.net/out.php/i5512048_painterror-png" alt="Ucretsiz Resim yukle ve Paylas" border="0" /></a>

What is the URL supposed to be?

Are you loading the URL helper before you use the redirect function?

Code:

$this->load->helper('url');
redirect("welcome_page");

yes i load it in constructor

for example
i write redirect("base_url()")
it makes
http://localhost:81/pasaj/giris/main_pag...host/pasaj


what i want to do is making it
localhost/pasaj/localhost/pasaj

why i dont know but i appends to former url.

because you are only supposed to put the segments in redirect() (see the docs), you are putting base_url() so it's the whole url getting appended to the current url.

Try:
redirect('pasaj');

@CroNiX
The docs say:

If you specify the full site URL that link will be build,

I'm just clarifying that if you supply a whole url it won't redirect to the url supplied?

Not on topic but if I read it right your statement is not correct based on the above quote. The language is off so it might be incorrect in my thinking...

@Mert
Your orignal posts has "welcome_page" I'm assuming that's a controller? If not you must put the controller before the method name. redirects direct to a url not a view (that was one of my initial issues with CI.)
