*UPdate, it would appear none of the forms seem to post correctly. They all load whatever URL is specified in action put no POST data is available.
My app is running fine on Lamp locally. Once uploaded to my live server the login form will not function. I am using CI3 and the Ion Auth library.
I have tried
var_dump($_POST)
which always outputs the following:
array(0) {
}
So it would seem that the form is not posting. My Form:
<?php echo form_open("auth/login");?>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-user"></i>
</span>
<?php echo form_input($identity);?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-lock"></i>
</span>
<?php echo form_input($password);?>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary text-theme-xs mr-8">Login</button>
<?php echo form_checkbox('remember', '1', FALSE, 'id="remember"');?>
<a href="<?= site_url('auth/forgot_password') ?>" class="text-theme-xs pull-right a-black">Forgot your password ?</a>
</form>
The post to URL is the same as the one the form is displayed on, and as I say it works fine on lamp. Firebug shows errors about password field and unsecure site but I assumed this wouldnt prevent the form from posting?
I have replaced the redirects with var_dump but nothing happens, the issue is that there is no _POST data being sent.
Controller:
function login()
{
$this->data['title'] = "Login";
//validate form input
$this->form_validation->set_rules('identity', 'Identity', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true)
{
//check to see if the user is logging in
//check for "remember me"
$remember = (bool) $this->input->post('remember');
if ($this->ion_auth->login($this->input->post('identity'), $this->input->post('password'), $remember))
{
//if the login is successful
//redirect them back to the home page
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', $this->ion_auth->messages());
redirect('/', 'refresh');
}
else
{
//if the login was un-successful
//redirect them back to the login page
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', $this->ion_auth->errors());
redirect('auth/login', 'refresh'); //use redirects instead of loading views for compatibility with MY_Controller libraries
}
}
else
{
//the user is not logging in so display the login page
//set the flash data error message if there is one
$this->data['message'] = (validation_errors()) ? validation_errors() : $this->session->flashdata('message');
$this->data['identity'] = array('name' => 'identity',
'id' => 'identity',
'type' => 'text',
'class' => 'form-control',
'value' => $this->form_validation->set_value('identity'),
'placeholder' => 'Username',
);
$this->data['password'] = array('name' => 'password',
'id' => 'password',
'type' => 'password',
'class' => 'form-control',
'placeholder' => 'Password',
);
$this->_render_page('templates/head', $this->data);
$this->_render_page('templates/navbar', $this->data);
$this->_render_page('auth/login', $this->data);
$this->_render_page('templates/footer', $this->data);
}
}
The html output from the abiove controller/view:
<form action="http://www.mydomain.uk/auth/login" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<p>
<label for="identity">Email/Username:</label> <input type="text" name="identity" value="" id="identity" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="password">Password:</label> <input type="password" name="password" value="" id="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="remember">Remember Me:</label> <input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="1" id="remember" />
</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
</p>
</form>
