CodeIgniter Tutorial: How To Login Using CodeIgniter

This video learn how to login using Codeigniter.



1- Create Database "logindb" and then create table

CREATE TABLE tbl_users (
userid tinyint(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(10) NOT NULL,
password varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (userid)
)ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1

2- Insert New Row

INSERT INTO tbl_users(username,password) VALUES('demo',md5('test'));

3- Download Codeigniter

   - Create web directory name or web root 'loginwebsite'
   - Extract codeigniter to web root 'loginwebsite'

     application
     system
     index.php

4- Update application/config/database.php

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['username'] = 'root';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = 'logindb';

5- Update $route['default_controller'] = "loginwebsite"; in application/config/routes.php

6- Update application/config/autoload.php

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','session');
$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

7- Update encryption_key in application/config/config.php

$config['encryption_key'] = 'APANtByIGI1BpVXZTJgcsAG8GZl8pdwwa84'

8- Create User Model in application/models/user.php

<?php
Class User extends CI_Model
{
 function login($username, $password)
 {
   $this -> db -> select('userid, username, password');
   $this -> db -> from('tbl_users');
   $this -> db -> where('username', $username);
   $this -> db -> where('password', MD5($password));
   $this -> db -> limit(1);

   $query = $this -> db -> get();

   if($query -> num_rows() == 1)
   {
     return $query->result();
   }
   else
   {
     return false;
   }
 }
}
?>

9- Create Login Controller in application/controllers/login.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Login extends CI_Controller {

 function __construct()
 {
   parent::__construct();
 }

 function index()
 {
   $this->load->helper(array('form'));
   $this->load->view('login_view');
 }

}

?>

10- Create Login View in application/views/login_view.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
   <title>Simple Login with CodeIgniter</title>
 </head>
 <body>
   <h1>Simple Login with CodeIgniter</h1>

   <?php echo validation_errors(); ?>

   <?php echo form_open('verifylogin'); ?>
     <label for="username">Username:</label>
     <input type="text" size="20" id="username" name="username"/>
     <br/>
     <label for="password">Password:</label>
     <input type="password" size="20" id="passowrd" name="password"/>
     <br/>
     <input type="submit" value="Login"/>
   </form>
 </body>
</html>

11- Create VerifyLogin Controller in application/controllers/verifylogin.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class VerifyLogin extends CI_Controller {

 function __construct()
 {
   parent::__construct();
   $this->load->model('user','',TRUE);
 }

 function index()
 {
   //This method will have the credentials validation
   $this->load->library('form_validation');

   $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'trim|required|xss_clean|callback_check_database');

   if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
   {
     //Field validation failed.  User redirected to login page
     $this->load->view('login_view');
   }
   else
   {
     //Go to private area
     redirect('home', 'refresh');
   }
 }

 function check_database($password)
 {
   //Field validation succeeded.  Validate against database
   $username = $this->input->post('username');

   //query the database
   $result = $this->user->login($username, $password);

   if($result)
   {
     $sess_array = array();
     foreach($result as $row)
     {
       $sess_array = array(
         'userid' => $row->userid,
         'username' => $row->username
       );
       $this->session->set_userdata('logged_in', $sess_array);
     }
     return TRUE;
   }
   else
   {
     $this->form_validation->set_message('check_database', 'Invalid username or password');
     return false;
   }
 }
}
?>

12- Create Home Controller in application/controllers/home.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
session_start(); //we need to call PHP's session object to access it through CI
class Home extends CI_Controller {

 function __construct()
 {
   parent::__construct();
 }

 function index()
 {
   if($this->session->userdata('logged_in'))
   {
     $session_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
     $data['username'] = $session_data['username'];
     $this->load->view('home_view', $data);
   }
   else
   {
     //If no session, redirect to login page
     redirect('login', 'refresh');
   }
 }

 function logout()
 {
   $this->session->unset_userdata('logged_in');
   session_destroy();
   redirect('home', 'refresh');
 }
}
?>

13- Create Home View in application/views/home_view.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
