Find error_reporting, change it to

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE)

I think that will make the Notice message disappeared from the Claudias sample codes.

But for your own real life programming, programming for error_reporting(E_ALL) will be better practice.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately that did not work for me. I still just get redirected back to my login page. There's a couple more adjustments to my code that I'm going to try but if anyone has any advice, please chime in. Thanks!

You are not using the original log in code, right? after you change the error reporting, use the original log in code, I think the error will go away.

Even with the original login code I just get redirected back to my login page. I do appreciate the response. I'm still trying to figure this out.

Alright! I got it working by using the built in CI session library rather than native PHP $_SESSION. This thread over at the Codeigniter forums helped tremendously.

However another issue has come up. If I visit one of my admin pages directly, by typing in the URL, for example http://www.mydomain.com/admin/dashboard, it does not redirect to the login page but just shows the page as normal. Not too good for security and defeats the purpose of logging in. Any ideas on why this is happening? Do I need to alter my if statement in my Controller(s):

Code:

if ($this->session->userdata('userid') < 1) {
	redirect('welcome/verify', 'refresh');
}

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks...

Session Support enabled

In your php.ini is session support disabled?

By the way, I think the CI's own session code will save the session value as a cookie. so in product web site, you cannot use CI's own session class for the password, or userid etc.

Maybe the author can give the authenticate answer. Everyone else here may be the "students" of the book, the expert may not come to this forum. :)

Yeah I think CI session class will work for me for the site I'll be building based on the knowledge I've gained through the book. It will not be an ecommerce site so I only need authentication for the admin backend.

I'm hoping I can get the good word from Mr. Myer himself

I found out how to resolve this problem, after set the flashdata, it must be refresh. Else the second time u type it wrong then it will displayed

$this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Sorry, your username or password is incorrect!');
redirect('welcome/admin', 'refresh');
