I want to create a login system in CodeIgniter. I have this in my controller:
public function user_login_process()
{
$data = array(
'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
'password' => $this->input->post('password')
);
$result = $this->login_database->login($data);
if ($result == TRUE) {
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$result = $this->login_database->read_user_information($username);
if ($result != false) {
$session_data = array(
'username' => $result[0]->username,
'email' => $result[0]->email,
);
$this->session->set_userdata('logged_in', $session_data);
if (isset($this->session->userdata['logged_in'])) {
if( $username="admin"){
$result1 = $this->login_database->read_admin_information($username);
if ($result1 != false) {
$session_data = array(
'username' => $result1[0]->username,
);
$this->session->set_userdata('admin', $session_data);
$this->load->view('admin_page');
}}}
else {
$this->load->view('home_page');
}}
} else {
$data = array(
'error_message' => 'Invalid Username or Password'
);
$this->load->view('login_form', $data);
}
//}
I have this in my model:
public function login($data) {
$condition = "username =" . "'" . $data['username'] . "' AND " . "password =" . "'" . $data['password'] . "'";
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('user');
$this->db->where($condition);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
// Read data from database to show data in admin page
public function read_user_information($username) {//Will read the data for loginn
$condition = "username =" . "'" . $username . "'";
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('user');
$this->db->where($condition);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return $query->result();
} else {
return false;
}
}
public function read_admin_information($username) {//Will read the data for loginn
$condition = "username =" . "'" . $username . "'";
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('user');
$this->db->where($condition);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return $query->result();
} else {
return false;
}
}
So I'm trying to create a session which differentiates a user if it is a normal or is admin(username=admin). The problem is that after I login like admin or not this always takes me to the admin page. What it should do: it should take me to the home_page if user is not admin but is logged in.
Have I done something wrong? I have read the session class of CI before I did this. Can someone help me to do this in right way? Thanks!
you are not comparing, you are assigning here:
if( $username="admin"){ // will assign 'admin' to $username
Should be:
if( $username=="admin"){ // will compare $username == 'admin'
try this sir: (if you have a usertype on your table)
for example:
User_Account:(The table)
User_type(1 is admin)(0 is client)
ID | First_name | Last_name | Username | Password | User_type
1 Michael Jordan MJ23 6rings 1
2 Kobe Bryant KB24 5rings 0
MODEL:
public function login($user,$pass){
$data = array(
'Username' => $user,
'Password' => $pass);
$query = $this->db->get_where('user_account',$data);
return $query->result_array();
}
VIEW:
<form action="<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/My_Controller/login_user" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username"/><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"/><br/>
<button type="submit">LOGIN</button>
</form>
CONTROLLER:
public function login_user(){
$user = $this->input->post('username');//this is from the name on input
$pass = $this->input->post('password');//this is from the name on input
$result=$this->My_Model->login($user,$pass);
$usertype = $result["0"]["User_type"];//this is from the database, whenever you login a user which is valid this is what you will use to see what is his User_type
if($usertype == 1){
redirect('My_Controller/show_admin');
}
else if($usertype == 0){
redirect('My_Controller/show_client');
}
}
Try this out: if you have questions just comment!
