Model Issue

[eluser]JayArias[/eluser]

Code:

<?PHP

class User extends Model{
    
    function User()
    {
        parent::Model();
    }
    
    function info($string)
    {
        $q = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '".$this->session->userdata('username')."' AND `password` = '".$this->session->userdata('password')."'");
        $member = $q->row();
        $member->$string;
    }
}

Am I using the wrong method ??

I just want to load the model from with controllers and use $this->member->info('name'); and have it echo it

can you exactly tell what are you trying to return from that Model class

[eluser]JayArias[/eluser]
I want to be able to put the following in my controller....

$this->model_name->info_function('username'); and echo "the persons user name"

Well, once you put a return in front of the $member->$string; call in your model, you should be pretty much there.

A couple of extra comments, however.

You might want to have attributes in your User model that are populated by an init($username) method. This means you won't hit the database whenever you pull user, pass, prefs, etc. Instead you'd do something like (in your controller):

Code:

$this->User->load_details($username);

$user_name = $this->User->username;

Your query is a bit messy given you're matching user and pass - surely you only need to match user? Once you're authenticated, you don't need to keep the password around, especially not in the session data - it's not that it's insecure, it's just that it's irrelevant. (And possibly a tad insecure.)

That makes no sense for that Ill just add everything to the session

On the subject of not making sense.

Are you saying that none of the three things I said helped with your problem or made sense?
