If i understand you correct you want to call your method "login" when you press your login button. In your view replace:

<?php echo form_open(current_url()) ?>

with

<?php echo form_open('your_controller_name/login') ?>

In your confing.php you should set up your base_url:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/myfirstwebsite';

If you don't use mod_rewrite in your config.php your index_page shoud be set:

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

So when you click login button your form will point to your base URL plus the "your_controller_name/login" URI segments, something like this:

http://localhost/myfirstwebsite/index.php/your_controller_name/login
