Codeigniter Inputting session data from model for a simple authentication system
- by user1616244
Trying to put together a simple login authentication. Been at this for quite sometime, and I can't find where I'm going wrong. Pretty new to Codeigniter and OOP PHP. I know there are authentication libraries out there, but I'm not interested in using those.
Model:
function login($username, $password){
if ($this->db->table_exists($username)){
$this->db->where('username', $username);
$this->db->where('password', $password);
$query = $this->db->get($username);
if($query->num_rows >= 1)
{
return true;
$data = array(
'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
'login' => true
);
$this->session->set_userdata($data);
}
}
}
Controller
function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->logincheck();
}
public function logincheck(){
if ($this->session->userdata('login')){
redirect('/members');
}
}
If I just echo from the controller: $this-session-all_userdata(); I get an empty array. So the problem seems to be that the $data array in the model isn't being stored in the session.
