Hey, I'm new to CodeIgniter and loving the framework so far however have a coding question that I've been stumped on today.
I'm looking to have a login form in the views/templates/header.php file which is included on all the pages of the website. I am writing the validation and have the following function inside a User controller,
However if a user fails the validation I would like them to reload the page they were pervious on and show the validation errors. Since the form is pointing to /users/login is there a way to do this? Would I just find out what the last page they were on and redirect page and include
inside the header.php file? or would it be more complex than this? If so, how could I redirect back to the previous page?

} else {
