hey guys,

I have a funny thing that happens to my local setup for development. I have a form with action like so:

Code:
<div class="entry">

              <p>

                  &lt;form action="students/loginstudent" method="POST" id="studentlogin"&gt;

                  <p><label for="Username"><strong>Username :</strong>&lt;input name="user_name" id="uname" type="text"/&gt;&lt;/label></p>

                  <p><label for="Password"><strong>Password :</strong>&lt;input name="password" id="password" type="password"/&gt;&lt;/label></p>

                  <p>&lt;input name="submitbtn" id="logbtn" type="submit" value="Login"/&gt;&lt;/p>

                  &lt;/form&gt;

           </p>

     &lt;?php 

            echo '<p class="errors"><strong>'.$this->ion_auth->errors().'</strong></p>';

            echo '<p class="errors"><strong>'.validation_errors().'</strong></p>';

     ?&gt;

and I have a function in my students controller called loginstudent. Now when I try to login I am brought back to the login form again but the url says this:

Code:
http://localhost:8888/schoolmanager/index.php/students/students/loginstudent

so my question is has anyone encountered this before? I thought of sharing this here first as I think this is the best place to start finding answers.

Thanks for all the help!!!

:question: Smile

if you aren't going to use the form helper for creating your form elements, you should include the full path for your form action and not use a relative path.
