url wierdness

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!!!

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.
