How to take specific data from table and store it in a cookie codeigniter php? -

i'm new codeigniter , php, few days only, need little help. i'm trying put data in cookie table can check redirect user after login. in table users there 2 columns named admin , company 1 or 0 if user or not, , wish insert information cookie.

function conformation in user_controler is:

function conformation(){     $this->load->model('user');     $q = $this->user->confr();     if($q){         $data = array(             'username' => $this->input->post('username'),             'admin' => $this->input->post($a = $this->user->getadmin), // 1/0 users column admin              'company' => $this->input->post($c = $this->user->getcomp),                         'login' => true         );         if( $a == 1 ){ //is admin redirect admin view             $this->session->set_userdata($data);         redirect('user_controler/useradm');         }         if($c == 1){ //if company redirect company view           $this->session->set_userdata($data);         redirect('user_controler/usercomp');         }         $this->session->set_userdata($data);// if common user redirect user view         redirect('user_controler/userpro');     }     else{ // if nothing above redirect login page         redirect('user_controler/log');     } } 

and in user model:

function getadmin{    $this->db->where('admin', 1);    $a = $this->db->get('users'); } function getcomp{    $this->db->where('company', 1);    $a = $this->db->get('users'); } function conf(){         $this->db->where('username', $this->input->post('username'));         $this->db->where('password', $this->input->post('password'));         $q = $this->db->get('users');          if($q->num_rows == 1 ){             return true;                         }     } 

also have site controller checking login

class site extends ci_controller{      function __construct() {         parent::__construct();         $this->login();     }      function login(){         $login = $this->session->userdata('login');          if(!isset($login) || login != true){             $this->log;             die();         }     }  } 

of course it's not working because should check these column other way don't know how. have enabled table ci_session , it's work without admin , company.

hello , welcome stackoverflow.

here updates code (i have annotated changes):

function conformation(){     $this->load->model('user');      if($this->user->confr()){  //$q wasn't needed, using twice         $user = $this->input->post('username');  //i have added referring couple of times.         $data = array(             'username' => $user,             'admin' => $this->user->getadmin($user), // method questioning original form looking data never find - question model.             'company' => $this->user->getcomp($user), //same above                         'login' => true         );         $this->session->set_userdata($data);  //it doesn't matter user is, shall set data start with.         if($this->user->getadmin($user)){ //is admin redirect admin view             redirect('user_controler/useradm');         }         elseif($this->user->getcomp($user)){ //if company redirect company view             redirect('user_controler/usercomp');         }         else { //redirect non-privileged users.             redirect('user_controler/userpro');         }     }     else{ // if nothing above redirect login page         redirect('user_controler/log');     } } 

users model:

function getadmin($user){    $this->db->where('username', $user); //before returning admin   instead finds user    $a = $this->db->get('users');     foreach($a $u) {        if($u["admin"]==1) { return true; }  //this finds if user admin or not, , function return value (true)    } } function getcomp($user) {    $this->db->where('username', $user);     $a = $this->db->get('users');     foreach($a $u) {        if($u["company"]==1) { return true; }    } }  //edited similar function above function conf(){     $this->db->where('username', $this->input->post('username'));     $this->db->where('password', $this->input->post('password'));     $q = $this->db->get('users');      if($q->num_rows == 1 ){         return true;                     } } 

lastly login function:

function login(){     $login = $this->session->userdata('login');      if(!isset($login) || $login != true){  //you weren't referring $login variable         $this->log;         die();     } } 

hopefully helps problems, let me know if need amendments.
