Codeigniter: change URL after loading a View

Question

I am working on a project which deals with lots of forms. I searched and tried the search results, but none of them worked.

My code view code "uprofile.php" is as follows:

<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action='<?php echo base_url() . "home/addnewagency" ?>'>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label for="company" class="col-sm-3 control-label">New Agency Name:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="newagency" name="newagency" placeholder="Plase Enter New Agency Name">
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-sm-offset-3 col-sm-9">
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>

My Controller "home.php" code is as follows:

public function addnewagency() {
        $newagency = $this->input->post('newagency');
        $this->dis_model->newagency_model(strtoupper($newagency));
        $this->loadprofile();
    }
    public function loadprofile() {
        $data['inscompanyname'] = $this->dis_model->getcompany();
        $data['agentname'] = $this->dis_model->getagent();
        $data['agencyname'] = $this->dis_model->getagency();
        $data['clientname'] = $this->dis_model->getclient();
        $data['deptname'] = $this->dis_model->getdept();
        $this->load->view('uprofile', $data);
    }

when I submit the form, the control is passed to addnewagency() data gets inserted in the database and the URL is http://localhost/dis/home/addnewagency. After getting back to the calling function, it goes to loadprofile() and loads the view uprofile. But, the URL still remains the same. But, I want it as http://localhost/dis/home/login and also want to pass the data. Does anyone have any idea regarding how to achieve this?

All positive suggestion are welcomed...

Thanks in advance...

Did you try redirect("home/login"); inside the function addnewagency() — Gopalakrishnan

Looks like you are doing this while you are in session. You can destroy the session after putting values and Redirect to login redirect("home/login");. just an Idea if that works — Ankit

you have to redirect redirect(base_url() . 'home/loadprofile'); — JYoThI

Now you are calling $this->loadprofile() within addnewagency(). If you want to change URL, you need to use redirect() function of CodeIgniter.

Replace

$this->loadprofile()

with below line of code and it will work for you.

redirect(base_url() . 'home/loadprofile');

can i pass data using redirect() ?

Mehul Kuriya Over a year ago

in redirect() function you cant pass but you can set the data in session

V15HM4Y Over a year ago

But, there's a lot of data. Do you think, it would be feasible to store that much data is session?

Rukmi Patel Over a year ago

You can store upto 4kb in CodeIgniter Sessions. One thing we can do it, Pass Id and fetch data from that ID on functioan load.

I don't think this is the best anwser since the OP asked to pass data as well

if you want to change the url use redirect(base_url() . 'home/loadprofile'); in your controller addnewagency(); as suggested by others and refer this question to know whether you can send data in redirect function or not, Sending data along with a redirect in CodeIgniter

I found a alternative option to get this done. You can't change URL string with $this->load->view function but you can redirect to target controller function using redirect method. Before you call redirect, set flash session data using $this->session->set_flashdata that will only be available for the next request, and is then automatically cleared. You can read it from official codeiginter documentation .

Example :

class Login extends CI_Controller {

    public function index()
    {
        if ($this->session->login_temp_data) {
            $data = $this->session->login_temp_data;
        } else {
            $data = array();
            $data['name'] = 'Guest' ;
        }
        $this->load->view('login', $data);
    }

    public function get_name()
    {
       $data = [];
       $data['name'] = 'John Doe';
       $this->session->set_flashdata('login_temp_data', $data);
       redirect("login");
    }

}

This is the best option in my opinion. And you can retrieve like so in the view isset($_SESSION['login_temp_data']) ? $login_temp_data = $_SESSION['login_temp_data'] : '';

You want to use the redirect() function

At the bottom of your addnewagency() method like so:

public function addnewagency() {
    $newagency = $this->input->post('newagency');
    $this->dis_model->newagency_model(strtoupper($newagency));
    redirect(base_url() . 'home/loadprofile');
}
