This is coming from a log in form with email and password as the to fields:

echo form_open('main/login_validation');

echo "<P>Email: </br>";
echo form_input('email',$this->input->post('email'));
echo "</P>";

echo "<P>Password: </br>";
echo form_password('password');
echo "</P>";

echo "<P>";

$img_path = base_url()."imgs/log_in_0.png";

echo '<input type="image" src="'.$img_path.'">';
echo "</P>";

echo form_close();

Goes to the controler for form validation:

$this->load->library('form_validation');

$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|trim|xss_clean|callback_validate_credentials');

$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|trim');

if($this->form_validation->run()){
        $data = array(
            'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
            'is_logged_in' => 1
        );
        $this->session->set_userdata($data);

        $nKey ='members';
        $this->page($nKey);
    } else {
        $nKey ='login';
        $this->page($nKey);
    }

Callback sends it to:

public function validate_credentials(){
    $this->load->model('model_users');

    $salt = $this->model_users->get_salt();

    if($this->model_users->can_log_in($salt)){

        return true;
    }else{

    $this->form_validation->set_message('validate_credentials', 'Incorrect Email/Password.');
    return false;
    }

}

when it calls get_salt() it then loads from the model:

public function get_salt(){

    $this->db->where('email', $this->input->post('email'));


    $query = $this->db->get('users');

    if($query){

        $row = $query->row();

        $salt =  $row->salt;

        return $salt;
    }else{
        echo 'failed salt';

    }

}

this same code word fine two days ago, now it gives a non-object error on:

$salt =  $row->salt;

Won’t load the query right, I echoed from the post array with codeigniter function $this->input->post('email'), and it echoed the correct email.

But when I print_r the query it comes back an empty query object, but the email is in the user db table (in the email field and everything), I have checked, I was using this same account to do tests just a few days ago
