How to redirect using $this-session-userdata(country_territory)

You can store the users id in the session then assign it to the view data.

PHP Code:

$data['userID'] = $userID; 


Then in your view you can create the link like so or use CodeIgniters anchor helper.

PHP Code:

<a href="<?= base_url('adverts/createadvert/'.$userID);?>">Create Advert</a>

Thanks InsiteFX. I've created the variable in the Adverts Controller-

PHP Code:

$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id'); 


And this link in the view-

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php base_url('createadvert/'.$user_id);?>">CreateAdvert</a> 


My system rejected the above, first by the 2nd "=" so I deleted that, but it is still giving an error.

I realize I need to do a lot more work. Once the advert is created I want it saved by the user_name presumably in the root directory.

However, I first want to get the Layout to work.

Change this:

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php base_url('adverts/createadvert/'.$user_id);?>">CreateAdvert</a> 


To this:

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php echo base_url('adverts/createadvert/'.$user_id);?>">CreateAdvert</a> 


Your missing the echo statement.

Also links are Controller/Method

It is still giving an error - undefined variable user_id. It is defined in the Controller and I also defined it in the view but still nothing works.

Move this line from controller to view:

PHP Code:

$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id'); 


Or put the $user_id in an array which is passed to the view.
Controller:

PHP Code:

$data['user_id'] =  $this->session->userdata('user_id'); 
$this->load->view('createadvert', $data); 


In both cases, the $user_id variable will be available in the view.

Thanks Wouter60, I did try your first option but it didn't work, or at least open the page. I do need to put more coding into the Controller to try your 2nd option.

Can you answer my previous query about before a User creates an advert I want to give them an option of the advert layout, for example the "Description - Images - Ingredients - Details" to be in different places on the page?

Similar to what Yahoo do in the layout of email pages. Do you know of any site where I can learn that?

Thanks Wouter60, I did try your first option but it didn't work (…).

I'm sorry, christaliise, but I'm clearly not the right person to help you.

I found this site for page layout. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_layout.asp

Why not just use Bootstrap 4 Grid?
