CodeIgniter: checking if user logged in for multiple pages

Question

I have a controller, which maps to section of my site and all of the pages within it (methods) should only appear if the user is logged in. Otherwise they should be redirect

Answer 1

I use this function:

Then just call $this->isAuthorized from your controllers __construct.

It allows me to control what controllers are accessed and what methods are accessed too.

protected function isAuthorized()
{

    switch ( strtolower( $this->router->class ) )
    {
        case 'pages':
            $disallowLoggedOut = array( 'dashboard' );
            $disallowLoggedIn = array( 'index' );
        break;

        case 'users':
            $disallowLoggedOut = array( 'logout' );
            $disallowLoggedIn = array( 'register', 'login' );
        break;
    }

    if ( $this->session->userdata( 'loggedIn' ) ) 
    {       
        if ( in_array( $this->router->method, $disallowLoggedIn ) )
        {
            redirect( 'pages/dashboard' );
        }
    }
    else
    {       
        if ( in_array( $this->router->method, $disallowLoggedOut ) )
        {
            redirect( 'pages/index' );
        }
    }
}
