Codeigniter redirect() not working as intended

I have started working with Codeigniter. So, I have two controller Tasks and Project. In my Task Controller I have a function to edit an existing task and after the task is edited I want to redirect to the Projects controller's display method which takes a parameter as the project_id associated with the task.

Here is my task controller:

 public function edit($task_id,$task_project_id){
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('task_name', 'Task Name','trim|required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('task_description', 'Task Description','trim|required');
    if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
        $result=$this->task_model->get_task($task_id);
        $data['task_name']=$result->task_name;
        $data['due_on']=$result->due_on;
        $data['task_description']=$result->task_description;
        $data['id']=$task_id;
        $data['task_project_id']=$task_project_id;
        $data['main_view']="tasks/edit_task";
        $this->load->view('layout/user', $data);
    } else { 
            $data['task_project_id']=$task_project_id;
            $data['task_name']=$this->input->post('task_name');
            $data['due_on']=$this->input->post('due_on');
            $data['task_description']=$this->input->post('task_description');
            $data['id']=$task_id;
            if ($this->task_model->edit($data)){
            $this->session->set_flashdata('task_edited' ,'Task Edited Succesfully');
            redirect(projects/display/$task_project_id); THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM .
        }else{
            $this->session->set_flashdata('task_edited_failure' ,'Task Not Edited Succesfully');
            redirect(projects/edit);
        }
    }
}

Here is my Projects Controller with its index and display function :

    public function index()
{
        $data['projects']=$this->projects_model->get_projects();
        $data['main_view']="projects/home_view";
        $this->load->view('layout/user.php',$data);
}
public function display($project_id){
        $data['task']=$this->task_model->get_tasks($project_id);
        $data['project']=$this->projects_model->get_project($project_id);
        $data['main_view']="projects/display";
        $this->load->view('layout/user.php',$data);
}

So, in my task controller I am trying to redirect to the projects controller's display method using redirect(projects/display/$task_project_id) as the Projects Controller's display function is display($project_id). But this is redirecting to me the Project controller's index function. What is wrong with the redirect ? I thought the URL structure in CI was controller/function/parameter1/parameter2.

redirect($uri = '', $method = 'auto', $code = NULL)

redirect() function in codeigniter uses the url you define in your root. You can't directly jump to controllers.

You made mistake in writing redirect function. It should be like as below.

redirect('projects/display/'.$task_project_id);

redirect('projects/edit');
