Easy way to check existence of a user in DB ? ( Newbie )

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
The easiest way is something like

Code:

$this->db->where('username', $username);
$this->db->where('password', $password);
$query = $this->db->get('users');
if($query->num_rows() == 1) {
  // Username and password match
} else {
  // Error
}

You might need to chance variable names of the columns/table
