Help with PHP Website

Hello, I am working on my PHP final. It is using MVC.
I am trying to get a login page to work. When I click login, it just refreshes the page.

Here is the form:

< form action="…" method=“post”>
< input type=“hidden” name=“action” value=“login”>
< label id=“login-label”>Email:
< input id=“login-input” type=“text” name=“email” required=“required”>
< br>
< label id=“login-label”>Password:
< input id=“login-input” type=“password” name=“password” required=“required”>
< br>
< label> 
< input type=“submit” id=“login-btn” value=“Login”>
< /form>

-root
-index.php
-view
-login.php

I am thinking my < form action="…" method=“post”> is incorrect, but I’m not finding an alternative.

THERE ARE TWO PERIODS IN THE FORM ACTION, FOR SOME REASON IT IS DISPLAYING THREE

action needs to be the link to the page you want to submit the form to:

If you want to submit to the same page, just remove action altogether.
If you want to submit to an alternate page, action=“alternate-page.php”

Okay. I think something else may be wrong. Can I DM you?
To go up one directory and use the index.php file, it would be the same as any other time I try to use a file, right?

action="../index.php"

For some reason, it puts three periods instead of two on the forum.

Okay. I know what the issue is. I just don’t how to fix it. I am going to have to read up when I wake up.
It is with the authentication and storing information in the session cookie.

Always try to use full url in action. Define a $base_url variable globaly and use it all over the site. Ex : <form action =”<?php echo $base_url() ?>/index.php”>
