Form action with class and method adds to existing url - php

Question

I have sign in form which has URL - "http://localhost/ci/signin". After click on submit, it goes to - "http://localhost/ci/login/userLogin", which affects hyperlink opening problem because it searches for that page in 'login', which is actually on "http://localhost/ci/home".
How to solve this problem?
my signin form page code is:
<?php echo form_open('login/userLogin'); ?
<div class="top-margin">
<label>Email <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
<?= form_input(['name'=>'email','class'=>'form-control']); ?>
</div>
<div class="top-margin">
<label>Password <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
<?= form_password(['name'=>'password','class'=>'form-control']); ?>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<b>Forgot password?</b>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 text-right">
<?= form_submit(['name'=>'submit','value'=>'Sign in','class'=>'btn btn-action']); ?>
</div>
</div>
</form>
My "login" controller code is:
class Login extends MY_Controller
{
public function userLogin()
{
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email','Email','trim|required|valid_email');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password','Password','required');
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters("<p class='text-danger'>","</p>");
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$data['title'] = ucfirst('signin'); // Capitalize the first letter
$this->load->view('user/header', $data);
$this->load->view('user/nav', $data);
$this->load->view('user/signin', $data);
$this->load->view('user/footer', $data);
}
else
{
echo "Success";
}
}
}
?>
Routes:
$route['(:any)'] = 'user/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'user/view';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

Answer 1

If I understand your question and your code correctly (never used codeigniter), you have the form loading from the login directory.
<?php echo form_open('login/userLogin'); ?
What happens when you try:
<?php echo form_open('home/userLogin'); ?
Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

I don't use CodeIgnite myself, but it probably has helper functions which can correctly output an URL.
In Laravel it is:
url('this/url/is/not/added/to/the/current/url');
Even when you're at 'localhost:8000/somepage' this outputs:
"localhost:8000/this/url/is/not/added/to/the/current/url"
It is a PHP (helper)function, so output it in PHP.

Answer 3

Yes. I found solution of my problem. It was my mistake actually. Hyperlinks was not working because i didn't write full address for that hyperlinks.
Previously, My hyperlinks was-
Home
Now, I changed it to...
Home
Now, It Works. Enjoy.
