I'm working with codeIgniter. I am making a login form which checks the members details with the database.
However when I click to login I get this error message:
The requested URL /waitronmain/login.php/login/validate_credentials was not found on this server.
However this is my login.php file and as you can see validate_credentials() does exist.
class Login extends CI_Controller{
function index()
{
$data['main_content'] = 'login_form';
$this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
}
function validate_credentials()
{
//load model to query db
$this->load->model('membership_model');
$query = $this->membership_model->validate();
if($query){ //if credentials validated
$data = array(
'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
'is_logged_in' => true
);
$this ->session->set_userdata($data);
redirect('site/members_area');
}
else{ //if not validated load login form again.
$this->index();
}
}
}
Any idea what's going wrong? I should be going on to the 'members_area' page as I know the details I am entering are correct.
Any help would be much appreciated.
