php - Redirect error in codeIgniter

Question

I am trying to the code

function validate(){
        $this->load->library('session');
        $this->load->model('inventory/inventoryModel');
        $result = $this->inventoryModel->validateUser();
        if($result == 1){
            $data = array(
                'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
                'is_loged_in' => TRUE 
            );
            $this->session->set_userdata($data);
        }
        else{
            $this->index();
            redirect('inventory/validate');
        }
    }

and getting the error in chrome "This web page has a redirect loop" what is solution?

Answer 1

You have

$this->index() 

which probably trying to load views mentioned in the function.

Redirect causing again to load different function.

Sort that out. Can't give the exact solution as this isn't the whole code.
