Major form validation error messaging troubles
#1

[eluser]RalphLeMouf[/eluser]
Hello -

I have a login form that requires email and password. When I submit the form with both fields empty, the proper error messages appear, however when I put a CORRECT email address and a INCORRECT password, "invalid email" error pops up and no error displays for the password.

So basically the only time I can get "invalid password" is when I submit the form empty.


Here is my view(form):

Code:
<?php
    
    echo form_open('auth/validate_credentials_login');
    echo "<span class='errors_login'>";
    echo form_error('email_login');
    echo "</span>";
    echo form_label('','Email', 'email_login');
    $data = array( 'name' => 'email', 'class' => 'input', 'placeholder' => 'Email');
    echo form_input($data, set_value('email_login'));
    echo "<span class='errors_login'>";
    echo form_error('password_login');
    echo "</span>";
    echo form_label('', 'Password', 'password_login');
    $data = array( 'name' => 'password_login', 'class' => 'input', 'placeholder' => 'Password');
    echo form_password($data, set_value('sha1(password_login)'));
    echo form_submit('submit_login', 'Login');
    echo form_close();
    
    ?&gt;

and here is my controller:

Code:
function validate_credentials_login()
  {
   // WHEN THE VIEW IS LOADED THIS FUNCTION IS CALLED AND LOADS MODEL AS WELL AS DEFINES THE SALT VARIABLE AND LOADS THE ENCRYPTING HELPER LIBRARY
  
   $this->load->library('encrypt');
   $this->load->helper('url');
   $this->load->library('form_validation');
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('email_login', 'Email', 'required|is_unique[users.email]');
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('password_login', 'Password', 'required');
   $this->load->library('session');
   $this->load->model('user_model', 'um');
   $login = $this->input->post('submit_login');
  
  

    if($login) {
    
    $user = $this->um->validate_home_login(array('email' => $this->input->post('email_login')));
    if( $user ) {

     // CHECK THE USER'S PASSWORD AGAINST THE ONE FROM THE LOGIN FORM
     if($user->password == $this->encrypt->sha1( $user->salt . $this->encrypt->sha1($this->input->post('password_login')))) {
      $this->session->set_userdata(array(
       'email' => $this->input->post('email_login')
      ));
      redirect('account/dashboard');
      exit;
     }
    }
   }
  
   if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
   $data['main_content'] = 'home/home_page';
   $this->load->view('includes/templates/home_page_template', $data);
  }

}

any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

is_unique[users.email]

doesn't belong in a login function. it is saying, "the email you passed is already in the database, so you can't use it". if you look in the source code you'll understand better what it is doing

this would be appropriate for a registration form.

(BTW - this section is for asking about possible bugs in the CI framework, not troubleshooting your own code. please use the "Code" area for this)
