Hi there i have several users created in my membership db table but since I added in my validateUsers function to my controller to make sure non registered users cannot sign into my site, registered users cannot log in either. Why is this?

Controller:

class Login extends CI_Controller
{
  function Login()
  {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('membership');
  }



  function loguserin()

  {

   $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
  
   $this->load->library('form_validation');
  
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|min_length[4]|max_length[12]|callback_validateUser|trim');
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|md5|trim');


   $username = $this->input->post('username');
   $password = $this->input->post('password');



   if ($this->form_validation->run())
   {
   $this->validateUser($username, $password);
   $this->session->set_userdata('status', 'OK');
   $this->session->set_userdata('username', $username);

   redirect('home');
   }
   else
   {
   $this->session->set_userdata('status', 'NOT_OK');
   $this->load->view('shared/header');
   $this->load->view('account/logintitle');
   $this->load->view('account/loginview');
   $this->load->view('shared/footer');
   }
  }


   function validateUser($username, $password)
  {
      $this->db->select('*')->from('membership');
      $this->db->where('username', $username);
      $this->db->where('password',MD5($password));
      $query = $this->db->get();
    if ($query ->num_rows ==1)
   {
        return true;
   }
  
   else
   {
        var_dump($username, $password);// this only seems to throw back the username, not the password, don't know why
        $this->form_validation->set_message('validateUser', 'Invalid username/password');
        return false;
   }

}
  
   function index()
   {
        $this->load->view('shared/header');
        $this->load->view('account/logintitle');
        $this->load->view('account/loginview');
        $this->load->view('shared/footer');
  }

Thanks for the help
