Following is the complete flow for performing the 'Login Action' using Alamofire and Swift.

Alamofire v3.3 Swift 2.2 Xcode 7.3

I have used GCD and MBProgressHUD for my own convenience. Refactor and use as you like :)

func loginBtnTapped(sender: AnyObject) {

    MBProgressHUD.showHUDAddedTo(self.view, animated: true)

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0)) {

        let loginInfo : Dictionary = ["email":"abc@g.com","password":"abc123"]

        self.loginUser(loginInfo) { responseObject, error in

            print("\(responseObject) \n  \(error) ")

            // Parsing JSON Below
            let status = Int(responseObject?.objectForKey("status") as! String)
            if status == 1 {
                // Login Successfull...Move To New VC
            }
            else {
                print(responseObject?.objectForKey("message"))! as! String)
            }
            return
        }
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            MBProgressHUD.hideHUDForView(self.view, animated: true)
        }
    }

}


func loginUser(parameters:NSDictionary, completionHandler: (NSDictionary?, NSError?) -> ()) {

    self.postRequest("http://qa.company.com/project/index.php/user/login",
                     paramDict: parameters as? Dictionary,
                     completionHandler: completionHandler)
}

func postRequest(urlString: String, paramDict:Dictionary? = nil,
                 completionHandler: (NSDictionary?, NSError?) -> ()) {

    Alamofire.request(.POST, urlString, parameters: paramDict)
        .responseJSON { response in
            switch response.result {
            case .Success(let JSON):
                completionHandler(JSON as? NSDictionary, nil)
            case .Failure(let error):
                completionHandler(nil, error)
            }
    }

}
