Redirect to PHP class after HTML form submit

Question

I'm trying to execute a PHP class after a HTML form submit but my browser display that it couldn't open the specify address. Here's my form:

<!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' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>

<head>    
    <title>Logins</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id='login_form'>
        <form action='<?php echo base_url();?>Login/process' method='post' name='process'>
            <h2>User Login</h2>
            <br />            
            <label for='username'>UsernameTest</label>
            <input type='text' name='username' id='username' size='25' /><br />

            <label for='password'>Password</label>
            <input type='password' name='password' id='password' size='25' /><br />                            

            <input type='Submit' value='Login' />            
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

And here's my PHP's class:

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

class Login extends CI_Controller{

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

    public function index(){
        // Load our view to be displayed
        // to the user
        $this->load->view('login_view');
    }

        public function process(){
        // Load the model
        $this->load->model('login_model');
        // Validate the user can login
        $result = $this->login_model->validate();
        // Now we verify the result
        if(! $result){
            // If user did not validate, then show them login page again
            $this->index();
        }else{
            // If user did validate, 
            // Send them to members area
            redirect('home');
        }        
    }
}
?>

The class is in the Controller folder and the form is in the View folder

Thank's

Well, obviously, yes. He is using CodeIgniter. Do you have any routes that may overwrite the default route (class/method) ? — mariobgr, Sep 01 '15 at 09:46
Hello everybody, I'm currently using Codeigniter and honestly copy/past a code found on internet. But what do you mean about "any routes " that could overwrite the (class/method) ? Thank's — S7_0, Sep 01 '15 at 09:49

If you configured your site as something like http://www.mywebsite.org in your config file, then the line:

<form action='<?php echo base_url();?>Login/process' method='post' name='process'>

Will render as:

<form action='http://www.mywebsite.orgLogin/process' method='post' name='process'>

which is obviously not what you intended because http://www.mywebsite.orgLogin/process isn't even a valid URL. To render URLs in CodeIgniter, use site_url():

<form action='<?php echo site_url('Login/process');?>' method='post' name='process'>

Aside for this, there may be two other problems you might want to check out:

the /Login/process page doesn't exist
the /home page doesn't exist

First echo or dump your base_url() to see what is there, or use site_url() .I usually use '/' as /controller_name/function and please use 'login' not 'Login'.

I display the value of site_url() and gave me: __ localhost:8888/CodeIgniter-3.0.0/index.php/login/process __ Exactly what I want without the uppercase 'L' otherwise, it still doesn't work. But can you tell me why need I to write 'login' and not 'Login' (The both case doesn't work). – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 10:44

It works when I write manually the following URL:

localhost:8888/CodeIgniter-3.0.0/index.php/Login/process

But doesn't work using the form redirection.

<form action='<?php echo site_url('Login/process/');?>' method='post' name='process'>

Thanks

Include url helper in your controller or in autoload file. – Tpojka Sep 01 '15 at 11:43
@I've tried to add --- $this->load->helper('url'); --- Nothing change – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 11:52
Show your `.htaccess` file. – Tpojka Sep 01 '15 at 11:54
@Tpojka Require all denied Deny from all – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 12:01
@Tpojka I'm not really sure about the report between my problem and the .htaccess. Do you think that the problem is about my URL ? Thanks – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 13:50
If you want to use URL without `index.php` you have to rewrite it with `.htaccess`. Regardless, you can also use apache flag to solve that matter. Check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16579652/htaccess-case-sensitive-and-mod-rewrite#answer-16579927). – Tpojka Sep 01 '15 at 13:58
For the moment, it doesn't disturb me if there's index.php into my URL. But is there a report between my problem and the URL ? thanks – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 14:10
Not sure but maybe something with machine/OS? – Tpojka Sep 01 '15 at 14:21
I'm using Os Maverick and MAMP – S7_0 Sep 01 '15 at 14:39
