Why Can't Registered Users Within My Membership Table Not Log Into My System

[Jimbird85]

Hi there i have several users created in my membership db table but since I added in my validateUsers function to my controller to make sure non registered users cannot sign into my site, registered users cannot log in either. Why is this?

 

Controller:

 

 

class Login extends CI_Controller

{

function Login()

{

parent::__construct();

$this->load->model('membership');

}

 

 

 

function loguserin()

 

{

 

$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

 

$this->load->library('form_validation');

 

$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|min_length[4]|max_length[12]|callback_validateUser|trim');

$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|md5|trim');

 

 

$username = $this->input->post('username');

$password = $this->input->post('password');

 

 

 

if ($this->form_validation->run())

{

$this->validateUser($username, $password);

$this->session->set_userdata('status', 'OK');

$this->session->set_userdata('username', $username);

 

redirect('home');

}

else

{

$this->session->set_userdata('status', 'NOT_OK');

$this->load->view('shared/header');

$this->load->view('account/logintitle');

$this->load->view('account/loginview');

$this->load->view('shared/footer');

}

}

 

 

function validateUser($username, $password)

{

$this->db->select('*')->from('membership');

$this->db->where('username', $username);

$this->db->where('password',MD5($password));

$query = $this->db->get();

if ($query ->num_rows ==1)

{

return true;

}

 

else

{

var_dump($username, $password);// this only seems to throw back the username, not the password, don't know why

$this->form_validation->set_message('validateUser', 'Invalid username/password');

return false;

}

 

}

 

function index()

{

$this->load->view('shared/header');

$this->load->view('account/logintitle');

$this->load->view('account/loginview');

$this->load->view('shared/footer');

}

 

Thanks for the help
