Question

I’m having a hard time debugging to locate the issue here.
I’ve tried echoing $login_by_username and $login_by_email but they aren’t echoing.

The problem is when it loads the login form it always puts email as the label.

Controller:

$login_by_username = $this->config->item('login_by_username', 'config1');
$login_by_email = $this->config->item('login_by_email', 'config1');
$this->data['login_by_username'] = $login_by_username;
$this->data['login_by_email'] = $login_by_email;

View:

<?php
if ($login_by_username AND $login_by_email) 
{
    $login_label = 'Email or Username';
} 
else if ($login_by_username) 
{
    $login_label = 'Username';
} 
else 
{
    $login_label = 'Email';
}
?>
<?php echo form_label($login_label, 'login'); ?>

Config:

$config['login_by_username'] = TRUE;
$config['login_by_email'] = TRUE;

According to our comments.

You have used the autoload.php to call your config file.

You made some tests to make sure that the problem is with your config1.php file and not with CI.

I’ve made a test and here is what I did.

I have created a file config1.php inside: application/config.

Here it is:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');


$config['teste'] = 'config1 test';

On my autoload.php also inside application/config:

$autoload['config'] = array('config1');

My Home Controller:

public function index()
{
    $data = array('config'=>$this->config->item('teste'));
    $this->load->view('welcome_message', $data);
}

My view:

<?php echo $config;?>

And config1 test is echoed as expected.
