Why password doesn't be authenticated in LoginForm model

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

This is my LoginForm model:


<?

class LoginForm extends CFormModel

	{

	public $username;

	public $password;


	private $_identity;

	function rules()

		{

		return array(

			array("username, password","required"),

			array('password', 'authenticate'),

			);

		}

	public function authenticate($attribute,$params)

		{

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

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

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

		}

	}

?>

In controller:




				$model = new User;

				$model->attributes = $_POST["User"];

				if ($model->validate())

				.........................

I tested with some incorrect username and password but validate() function always return "true"

Why ????

Note that you are doing $model=new User… not $model=new LoginForm

This way $model->validate() validates the user model not the LoginForm model…

Oh, that’s error:


$model = new User;
