To redirect after Google login using CodeIgniter, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, make sure you have set up Google login in your CodeIgniter application by following the Google Sign-In API documentation.
  2. After the user successfully logs in with Google, you will receive an access token. You can store this access token in a session variable or database.
  3. Once the access token is stored, you can redirect the user to the desired page using the redirect() function in CodeIgniter. For example, if you want to redirect the user to a dashboard page after Google login, you can do the following:
1
2
3
4
5
// Store access token in session variable
$this->session->set_userdata('access_token', $access_token);

// Redirect user to dashboard
redirect('dashboard');


  1. In the 'dashboard' controller method, you can check if the user is logged in using the access token stored in the session variable. If the user is not logged in, you can redirect them back to the Google login page.
  2. After the user is successfully authenticated, you can redirect them back to the dashboard page using the redirect() function.


By following these steps, you can redirect the user to a specific page after Google login in your CodeIgniter application.
