Hello,
I have this code in header to login:

Code:
echo form_open('login');

    echo form_input("email","email");

    echo form_password("password","");

    echo form_submit("ok","ok");

    echo form_hidden('url',current_url());

    echo form_close();

and this is the login function in controller:

Code:
function login(){

        $this->load->model('my_mod');

        $email = $this->input->post('email');

        $password = $this->input->post('password');

        $url = $this->input->post('url');

        $user = $this->my_mod->user_exist_employer($email,$password);

        $user = $this->my_mod->user_exist($email,$password);

        if($user!=false){

 foreach($user as $user):

        $data = array(

                   'fname'  => $user->fname,

                   'lname'  => $user->lname,

                   'id' => $user->id,

                   'logged_in' => true

               );

        $this->session->set_userdata($data);

 endforeach;

        redirect($url);

    }

}

and I wonder how to put checkbox (remember me) like any website.

CodeIgniter Users Guide - Form_helper check_box

In order to do a remember me you will need to create a cookie on the users system if they cheeck the check box!

Then in your login code you need to first check and see if they do have a cookie for remember me if they do auto log them into the system else show them the login screen!

I create a hash code using their username and password and save that into cookie and their database record.

Code:
$user = $this->my_mod->user_exist_employer($email,$password);

        $user = $this->my_mod->user_exist($email,$password);

Careful of this, your second call to your model is over writing the results of your first model call because you've called both $user = $this->my_mod->
If the first model call is just setting some session stuff or whatever, not a problem, but if it's returning anything then yeah... you've over written it.
