Creating Login Form

Hi, I am still new in this yii framework and I am still studying how this works…I have problem I am creating table user stores username and password and I put some value on the table for my test,.My problem is that how do I check in table user the username and password that was inputted in the login form.

I just followed the code generated by yii when creating app.

MyLoginForm.php //under model directory.




<?php


/**

 * LoginForm class.

 * LoginForm is the data structure for keeping

 * user login form data. It is used by the 'login' action of 'SiteController'.

 */

class MyLoginForm extends CFormModel

{

	public $username;

	public $password;

	public $rememberMe;


	private $_identity;


	/**

	 * Declares the validation rules.

	 * The rules state that username and password are required,

	 * and password needs to be authenticated.

	 */

	public function rules()

	{

		return array(

			// username and password are required

			array('username, password', 'required'),

			// rememberMe needs to be a boolean

			array('rememberMe', 'boolean'),

			// password needs to be authenticated

			array('password', 'authenticate'),

		);

	}


	/**

	 * Declares attribute labels.

	 */

	public function attributeLabels()

	{

		return array(

			'rememberMe'=>'Remember me next time',

		);

	}


	/**

	 * Authenticates the password.

	 * This is the 'authenticate' validator as declared in rules().

	 */

	public function authenticate($attribute,$params)

	{

		if(!$this->hasErrors())

		{

			$this->_identity=new UserIdentity($this->username,$this->password);

			if(!$this->_identity->authenticate())

				$this->addError('password','Incorrect username or password.');

		}

	}


	/**

	 * Logs in the user using the given username and password in the model.

	 * @return boolean whether login is successful

	 */

	public function login()

	{

		if($this->_identity===null)

		{

			$this->_identity=new UserIdentity($this->username,$this->password);

			$this->_identity->authenticate();

		}

		if($this->_identity->errorCode===UserIdentity::ERROR_NONE)

		{

			$duration=$this->rememberMe ? 3600*24*30 : 0; // 30 days

			Yii::app()->user->login($this->_identity,$duration);

			return true;

		}

		else

			return false;

	}

}
