I can't send form input values to controller

In my index.php I am trying to login and I have to get input values. Then I am sending to Memberlogin.php controller using session.

In index.php first lines

<?php
  ob_start();
  ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.mydomain.com');
  defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
?>

I am trying to get values like this

  <h2 style="text-align: center">Login Area</h2>
<table>
<form action="<?php echo site_url()."/Memberlogin/login";?>"method="post">
  <tr>
    <td>UserName</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="user_name" maxlength="20" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Password</td>
    <td><input type="password" name="password" maxlength="20" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td></td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="login" value="LOGIN!" /></td>
  </tr>
</form>
</table>

There is no syntax error.

Here is my Memberlogin.php controller

<?php 

ob_start();

ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.mydomain.com');

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



class Memberlogin extends CI_Controller {

function __construct()
{

    parent::__construct();

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

and here is my login function in Memberlogin.php

function login()
{
    $user_name  = $this->input->post('user_name', TRUE);
    $password   = $this->input->post('password', TRUE);


    if((!empty($user_name)) and (!empty($password)))
    {   ...
    }

But it is directly going to else which redirects to index.php

do you already load the form helper?

$this->load->helper('form');

the action for your form is incorrect, replace it with this

action="<?php echo site_url('Memberlogin/login');?>"

also add the following in the form tag

enctype="multipart/form-data"

<form action="<?php echo site_url('Memberlogin/login');?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

or use the url helper by doing this
