I am new in codeigniter. I create an login form and i want to validate my login credentials. I search many solutions but i failed. I cannot validate my credentials.
Here is My view Code name as login_form.php
<div id="login_form">
<h1>Login Page..!!</h1>
<?php
echo form_open('login/validate_credentials');
echo form_input('username', 'Username');
echo form_password('password', 'Password');
echo form_submit ('submit', 'Login');
?>
</div>
Here is My Model Code name as users_model.php
<?php
class Users_model extends CI_Model{
function validate(){
$this->db->where('username', $this->input->post('username'));
$this->db->where('password', $this->input->post('password'));
$query = $this->db->get('users');
if ($query->num_rows == 1){
return true;
}
}
} ?>
Here is My Controler Code name as Login.php
<?php
class Login extends CI_Controller{
function index(){
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->helper('html');
$data['main_content'] = 'login_form';
$this->load->view('include/template', $data);
}
function validate_credentials(){
$this->load->model('users_model');
$query = $this->users_model->validate();
if($query){
$data = array(
'username'=> $this->input->post('username'),
'is_logged_in' => true
);
$this->session->set_userdata($data);
redirect('site/dashboard');
}
else{
echo "Wrong";
//$this->index();
}
}
}
?>
Even when i give it right username and password it cannot validate and echo "Wrong" as shown in my code
