Sorry, here is my MY_Controller class:




class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
    public function construct()
    {
        parent::construct();
        $this->load->library('session');
        if (!$this->session->userdata('loggedin'))
        {
            header('Location: /sessions/login');
        }
    }
}

Hi, I'm stuck with that error: Undefined property: MY_Controller::$session

sessions and MyController are autoloaded. Here is MYController class:




class Welcome extends MY_Controller {

function  __construct()
{
    parent:: __construct();
}

function index()
{
    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->view('welcome_message');
}


}

any ideas?

Thanks

Dear all,

As I am a newbie with CI, I found this tutorial very interesting. I however got some difficulties while implementing it. I think I created the right model but what I am stuck with is the header(Location: /path). How can I configure the default Location? I changed the base_url in the config.php but it doesn't work.

Thanks

Don't forget to actually call the extended constructor from your secretplace constructor. with:

parent::MY_Controller();

and not:

parent::Controller();

Good tutorial.

Also, FYI, the boldfaced text is supposed to be “underscore-underscore-construct()”, then the same after “parent::”. This is in the PHP manual and most good PHP books, and should be listed under either “classes” or “object oriented programming”.

Hmm. Seems this site has Markdown enabled for comments...

That's supposed to be "MY-underscore-Controller", not "MYController".

@andy: I had the same issue. If your PHP code is written in "PHP4 style", i.e. like this:

class MyPage extends MYController { function MyPage() { parent::MYController(); } }

then you need to be VERY careful to call parent::MY_Controller(), and not parent::Controller().

A safer way to do this (though PHP5-specific) is:

class MyPage extends MY_Controller { function construct() { parent::construct(); } }

This works for me.

I think this code does not follow the usual CodeIgniter form validation standards. I reckon you should have used a custom callback function or other built-in validation methods. Anyway, your codes seems longer but I think it works so congratulations on that!
