Hi all,
Im a newbie to codeIgniter. I have a login form. And if I successfully login I have to display a welcome message using session variable and also display some basic information from the database on the homepage. How can I achieve it.
Please help.
Regards
iijb

the first function to set flashdata (to do a session variable, like an alert)
the second function to pull some info from the database (from a table called users) and load a new view that should show that data in the variable $database_users (just do a foreach loop and iterate over each item echoing it out)
example welcome controller
Code:
<?php
class welcome extends controller{
function welcome(){parent::controller();}
function index(){
$this->load->view('welcome');
}
function flash_me(){
$this->session->set_flashdata(array('alert'=>'here is an alert! display it by looking for flashdata in the view'));
redirect('welcome');
}
function database_users(){
$data['database_users'] = $this->db->select('*')->from('users')->limit(5)->get()->result_array();
$this->load->view('welcome_database_result',$data);
}
}the example view to go with the database query, i put the flash_show() function into a helper for my projects and just call it where i want to show flashdata.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
function flash_show()
{
$ci = get_instance();
$alert = $ci->session->flashdata('alert');
if($alert!=''){
echo '<code>'.$alert.'</code>';
}
}
?>
<?php flash_show(); ?>
<?php foreach($database_users as $item){ ?>
<h1>Showing user #<?=$item['id'];?> in the users table</h1>
<?=$item['username']?><br />
<?=$item['password']?><br />
<?php } ?>
</body>to go with this make a database table called users with an id, username and password field and make a 5 or 6 rows manually just to get a feel for how its accomplished. i do my queries by method chaining one line but usually people don't do that, they will throw it on multiple lines etc this is just my preference.
