I have created a simple login application form using codeigniter. My problem was login_view file will not be loaded when i access in the browser.
Login View: (application/views/login_view.php)

<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('verifylogin'); ?>
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" size="20" id="username" name="username"/>

}
else

}
