In CodeIgniter, you can check if a user is logged in by accessing the session library and checking if a specific session variable is set. Here's how you can do it:
- Load the session library in your controller constructor:
1
|
$this->load->library('session');
|
- Check if the user is logged in by checking the session variable that you set when the user logs in:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
if ($this->session->userdata('logged_in')) {
// User is logged in
// Add your code for logged in user here
} else {
// User is not logged in
// Add your code for guest users here
}
|
- You can also create a helper function that checks if the user is logged in:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
function is_user_logged_in(){
$CI = &get_instance();
$CI->load->library('session');
if ($CI->session->userdata('logged_in')) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
|
You can then call this function in your controllers or views to check if the user is logged in:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
// User is logged in
// Add your code for logged in user here
} else {
// User is not logged in
// Add your code for guest users here
}
|
By following these steps, you can easily check if a user is logged in or not in CodeIgniter.
