Calling a Controller function in another Controller in CodeIgniter

Question

I have a controller \"user\" in my codeigniter application. This controller has a function called logged_user_only():

public function logged_use         


        

Answer 1

just load user controller as library from your controller

function __construct(){
     parent::__construct();
     $this->load->library('../controllers/user');
}

Now, call this function of user controller any where in your controller,

$this->user->logged_user_only();

Answer 2

Function login in Controller Login

$data =array('username' => $this->input->post('username'), 'password' => $this->input >post('password')) $query = $this->db->get_where('usertable',$data)
    if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
        $data = array(
            'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
            'logged_in' => TRUE,
            'role' => "user");
        $this->session->set_userdata($data);
        redirect('home');
    } 

Function Construct in Controller user

if ($this->session->userdata('logged_in') == TRUE && $this->session->userdata('role') == "user") {} else {redirect('home');}

Answer 3

Calling a controller from another is not possible with CI and not recommended.

Either move your logged_user_only into a helper or even better a core controller that you extend all of your controllers from (MY_Controller) see http://codeigniter.com/wiki/MY_Controller_-_how_to_extend_the_CI_Controller/

Answer 4

Why not extend the controllers so the login method is within a MY controller (within the core folder of your application) and all your other controllers extend this. For example you could have:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
    public function is_logged()
    {
        //Your code here
    }
}

and your main controllers could then extend this as follows:

class Home_Controller extends MY_Controller {
    public function show_home()
    {
         if (!$this->is_logged()) {
           return false;
         }
    }
}
