How to echo a redirection in a controller?
i tried

Code:

<?php
class Blog extends CI_Controller {

public function index()
{
  echo page_url'pages/home';
}

public function comments()
{
  echo 'Look at this!';
}
}

but that didnt work.

page_url'pages/home'is wrong

you can use instead

Code:

base_url('pages/home');

or

Code:

site_url('pages/home');

btw. you need to use

Code:

die();

after the echo in your controller if you want to stop execution the code and check what is the problem when debugging like:

Code:

echo base_url('pages/home');
die();

The other way is to send the value to your view like:

Code:

$data_to_send_to_view = base_url('pages/home');
$this->load->view('your-view', $data_to_send_to_view);

And in your view output like:

Code:

echo $data_to_send_to_view;
