Don't call me Mr...I'm not that old Nothing bad about teaching this stuff yourself, but maybe you should start with something straight forward..some tutorials on plain functional php and once you mastered those you can continue to OOP and using frameworks like CI.

But anyway, let's fix your problems:

Change your function defintion slightly:

Code:

function check_login($username, $password)

and you gotta decide which way you want to go when running your queries.

Either fully build your query string and then run it:

Code:

$query_str = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' and password = '$password'";
        
$result = $this->db->query($query_str);

or use query bindings:

Code:

$query_str = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? and password = ?";
        
$result = $this->db->query($query_str, array($username, $shal_password));

or use active record:

Code:

$this->db->where('username', $username);
$this->db->where('password', $password);
$result = $this->db->get('users');
