{
$query = $this->db->get_where('users', array('email'=>$email));
if($query->num_rows() == 1 )
{
return $query->result();
}
}
Upon trying to log in, I got the error page cant be found. I want it to go to the home page if the session is correct. here is the error message:
404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.
How can I solve the error because I have also set as needed in the routes

I think your form action should be <?php echo base_url(); ?>user/login
Also in your model you're not checking for password anywhere.
You're also not returning anything if the email is not found or more than 1 results are found -
($query->num_rows() == 1)
Model
public function login($email,$password)
{
$query = $this->db->get_where('users', array('email' => $email, 'password' => $password))->result(); // you should use row() here to return only 1 row.
return $query; // you should check the uniqueness of email on registration, not here -- not allow duplicate email on registration
}
Controller
public function login(){
$email = $_POST['email']; // $this->input->post('email');
$password = $_POST['password'];
$data = $this->Users_model->login($email, $password);
if( !empty($data) ) // if no result found it'll be empty
{
// your code
}
else{
header('location:'.base_url().$this->index());
$this->session->set_flashdata('error','Invalid login. User not found');
}
}
See, if this helps you.
