Codeigniter redirect method is not working - codeigniter

Question

This is my User.php controller
I am unable to use redirect method.
i am working on xampp localhost
?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH'))
exit('No direct script access allowed');
class User extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
// Your own constructor code
$this->load->library('Admin_layout');
$this->config->load('reg_rules');
$this->load->model('admin/user_model');
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
public function index()
{
if (!$this->auth->loggedin()) {
redirect('admin/login');
}
}
public function add(){
//if($this->input->post('submit')){
$this->form_validation->set_rules($this->config->item('reg_settings'));
$data["reg_attrib"] = $this->config->item("reg_attribute");
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('', '');
if ($this->form_validation->run('submit') == FALSE)
{
// templating
$this->admin_layout->set_title('Add a User');
$this->admin_layout->view('admin/add_user',$data["reg_attrib"]);
// templating
}
else
{
// Develop the array of post data and send to the model.
$passw = $this->input->post('password');
$hashpassword = $this->hash($passw);
$user_data = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'gender' => $this->input->post('gender'),
'phone' => $this->input->post('contact_no'),
'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
'password' => $this->hash($hashpassword),
'doj' => time(),
);
$user_id = $this->user_model->create_user($user_data);
Here i am setting my success message using set_flashdata
and redirecting
if($user_id){
$this->session->set_flashdata('item', 'Record created successfully');
$this->redirect('admin/user/add','refresh');
}else{
echo "User Registration Failed!";
}
}//else
//} // submit
} // add
}
View_users.php
<?php
if($this->session->flashdata('item'))
{
echo $message = $this->session->flashdata('item');
}
?>
I am getting the following error
Fatal error: Call to undefined method User::redirect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\ci\application\controllers\admin\User.php on line 67
A PHP Error was encountered

Try to change from
$this->redirect('admin/user/add','refresh');
to
redirect('admin/user/add','refresh');
Hope it will be useful for you.
