Try loading this

$this->load->helper('url');

Then do the redirect

$url= 'http://www.google.com'; redirect($url,'auto');

Auto is usually default so your don't need to use it you can just use $url= 'http://www.google.com'; redirect($url);

To make the helper available through your application go to cofig/autoload.php. and add url in the helper array – Reuben Gomes Sep 03 '16 at 14:06

A dude just do a var_dump on $url. Its should be in the form of a array – Reuben Gomes Sep 04 '16 at 10:28
Unless in your model you've returned the URL properly – Reuben Gomes Sep 04 '16 at 10:29
$URL[0]->thecolumnname – Reuben Gomes Sep 04 '16 at 10:30
the result of the database are in array i fix the problem using implode function and convert the result into string, thanks friends – htmlpower Sep 04 '16 at 13:57
