User Login

[eluser]clip[/eluser]
try changing this...

Code:

if ($checkUser == FALSE) {
            
            echo 'Password is incorrect.';
            
        }else{
           ....................

to

Code:

if ($checkUser->num_rows() < 1) {
            
            echo 'Password is incorrect.';
            
        }else{

again this is in the link I suggested you read about generating query results.

Edit: It appears it isn't being checked because get_where() returns an array of objects regardless of the number of rows fetched by your query.

ok something is wrong im being redirected to the home page but none of the variables work

Code:

function login()
    {
        $this->load->helper('cookie');    
    
        $username = $this->input->post('username');
        $password =  $this->input->post('password');
        
        $checkUser = $this->db->get_where('users', array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password));
        
        if ($checkUser->num_rows() < 1) {
            
            echo 'Password is incorrect.';
            echo $password;
            
        }else{
                      $cookie = array(
                   'username'   => $username,
                   'passdword'  => $password,
                   );

                set_cookie($cookie);
                
                redirect('theater', 'refresh');
        
        }        
    }

the login page directs me to the home like it should if the variables have values

heres the checkLogin() function

Code:

function checkLogin()
    {
    
        $this->load->helper('cookie');
            
        $u1 = get_cookie('username');
        $p1 = get_cookie('password');
        
        
        $logged = $this->db->get_where('users', array ('username' => $u1, 'password' => $p1));

        if($logged->num_rows() >0)
        {
             $row = $logged->row();

             $uId = $row->id;
             $uName = $row->username;
            
            $data['uId'] = $uId;
            $data['uName'] = $uName;
            
            echo $u1;
            
            return $row;
        }
    }

what i changed in here was

$query = $this->db->get_where('users', array ('username' => $u1, 'password' => $p1));

to

$logged = $this->db->get_where('users', array ('username' => $u1, 'password' => $p1));
