CodeIgniter Simple Login Form With Sessions

Hello friends in this tutorial we are going to discuss how to make simple login form with sessions in codeigniter framework. In this tutorial we will make simple login form with session by using Codeigniter framework. In codeigniter framework creating of sessions is different than simple php. We will discuss how to create session for login into system in codeigniter framework. Here we will discuss how can we use model view controller coding style for validate user information and if user has enter right login information and then create simple session variable in codeigniter framework. Here system is working on model view controller coding style, that means here system has received login data from view and from view it has been send to contoller and then after controller has send that data to models for validate data are proper or not, then after model send back result to controller and controller send back result to view. This way login system are work in codeigniter framework. This is my simple codeginiter application for login system.
