Hi,
I have literally started using codeigniter and am still getting my head around how it works. I am creating a simple login for a web app, but not sure how, after I have created a query in a model class, I can get the data back to the controller so I can apply some logic to it.
here’s my code in my Controller index function:
function index()
{
$data['title'] = "Login Page";
$data['login'] = "Please Login";
$this->load->helper('form');//loads the form helper
if( $this->input->post("submit") ) {
$this->load->model('loginscript', '',TRUE);//true loads the db
$this->loginscript->checklogin($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);
$fullname = $this->loginscript->checklogin->fullname;//doesn't work
if($fullname){
echo "win";
}
else echo "fail";
//****if the output is fine then redirect
$this->load->helper('url');
//redirect('/dashboard', 'location', 301);
}//end of isset
else
{
$this->load->view('loginpage', $data);//the pages in the view directory
}
}
The code at the moment, for testing purposes, is trying to get the fullname value, which is stored in the db.
Here’s the model code:
function checklogin($username, $password){
$data['query'] = $this->db->get('profiles');
//hashes and salts the password to check against the db entry
$salt = "test";
$password = md5($salt.$password);
$this -> db -> select('username, password, fullname');
$this -> db -> from('profiles');
$this -> db -> where('username', $username);//checks username
$this -> db -> where('password', $password);//checks password
$this -> db -> limit(1);
$login = $this->db->get();
if($login->num_rows() == 1)
{
return $login->row();
echo $rows->fullname;//works
}
else
{
return false;
}
}//end of checklogin function
Could someone enlighten me how you can output each field from the database separately in the Controller class?
Very much appreciated 
Many thanks
