Codeigniter php logout issue when clicked logout URL not found - php

Question

Hi i m new to ci just working on the login & logout. When i try to logout it
shows url is not found /loginController/logout
What is the problem ? Is it because of the session or did i miss something?
Here is my controller
<?php
class loginController extends CI_Controller{ /**controller*/
public function index(){
$this->login();
}
public function login(){
$this->load->view('login');
}
public function home(){
if ($this->session->userdata('logged')){
$this->load->view('main');
} else {
redirect('loginController/denied');
}
}
public function denied(){
$this->load->view('denied_page');
}
public function login_validation() /**set rules*/
{
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username',
'Username', 'required|min_length[3]|max_length[12]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password',
'Password', 'required|sha1|callback_password_check');
if ($this->form_validation->run()){ /** form valdation*/
$data = array(
'username' => $this->input ->post('username'),
'logged' => 1
);
$this->session->set_userdata($data);
redirect('main');
} else {
$this->load->view('login');
}
}
public function logout(){ //login
$this->session->sess_destroy();
redirect('login');
}
public function password_check(){
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$this->load->model('users');
if($this->users->log_in($username, $password)){
return True;
}else{
$this->form_validation->set_message('password_check',
'Incorrect username or password.');
return False;
}
}
}
?>

Answer 1

change the code
public function logout(){ //login
$this->session->sess_destroy();
redirect('login');
}
to
public function logout(){
$this->session->sess_destroy();
redirect('loginController/login');
}

load $this->load->helper('url'); on the index function and change $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url')); to $this->load->helper(array('form')); on your validation function.
when redirecting use base_url()
on function logout change the second line redirect('login'); to redirect(base_url('/'.get_class($this)));
i hope it works and help you, just remember to read this and after logout the login page will be accessed via your index() function.
if that will not work just try to change base_url() to site_url() but you should know what is the differences.
