i am tring to set cookie in codeigniter but i cannt make it happen i dont know what is wrong. there is no error on the error log page...
this is my view page...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
EKART
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>SIGN IN</h1>
<form id="admin" action="/do/ekart/adminlogin/login/" method="POST">
Name :<br/>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name"/><div id="name_display"></div><br/>
Password :<br/>
<input type="password" name="password" id="pasword"/><div id="password_display"></div><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
and here is my controller..
adminlogin.php
<?php
class adminlogin extends Controller{
public function __construct(){
parent::Controller();
$this->load->library('mylib');
}
public function index(){
$this->load->view("ekart/adminlogin");
}
public function login(){
$name=$_POST["name"];
$password=$_POST["password"];
$data=array("username"=>$name,"password"=>$password);
$result=$this->mylib->logincheck($data);
if($result){
echo "every thing is fine";
setcookie("myCookie",$name,time()+3600,"/");
$this->load->view("ekart/home",array("message"=>""));
}
}
}
the control is going inside if and it also prints "every thing is fine" the home page is also get loaded but i dont know why the cooke is still not set..
mylib is my library to check login validation....
There is a codeigniter way of doing this.
Make sure to have $this->load->helper('cookie'); in your controller, or autoload it.
$cookie = array(
"username" => $name,
"time" => time()+3600
);
$this->input->set_cookie($cookie);
