Im trying to combine several tutorials about Codeigniter and bootstrap and understand per codes so i can integrate it in my project. What i am trying to do right now is create a login form using the two framework.
And i setup my View according to the turotial included in Codeigniter 'user_guide/tutorial/static_pages.html' which my landing page is named as 'home.php' is inside the folder 'pages' and header.php, and footer.php is inside the 'templates' folder. I created also a controller: Page.php.
I also use .htaccess to hide 'index.php'. Now i follow this tutorial how to create a login page: http://learnjquerybootstrap.blogspot.com/2015/01/login-session-using-codeigniter-and-bootstrap.html?m=1
-the only difference is this since i use htaccess:
<?php echo form_open(clogin/index); ?>
But when I try to submit the page i receive a: 404 page not found. My navbar links are working fine. I understand that the codeigniter works like this:
http://localhost/myfolder/index.php/class/function/
so when i submit my form the url that show up is:
http://localhost/myfolder/clogin/index
and gives me: 404 page not found.
Question: What is wrong with it? is there something wrong with the tutorial that i am using? i check other tutorials and the controller structure is just the same, like on this link:
do i need to include clogin.php in route.php? or is it about the htaccess? my
uri_protocol
is configured as
'REQUEST_URI'
in config.php. i tried other options but still the same.
i already firgured it out.The mistake was in the route.php, since i tried to combine two examples.. i realized that the wildcard route that i included from the Codeigniter user guide will not work with the Clogin.php.
Since it was set as
$route['(:any)']='pages/view/$1';
So the url works as
http://localhost/myfolder/pages/view/clogin
instead of
http://localhost/myfolder/clogin.
I removed it and now it is working.
