form in codeigniter cannot submit in controller - php

Question

i have a problem regarding with form submission in my code. I have a form that would let the user to input his/her whole information profile and also in my form, i got dynamic input type boxes. In short i have a very large form in my html with JavaScript dynamic input type.
Now my problem is, i am printing the data submitted in my form from view to controller and it doesn't print anything or when i press submit button, the page only refreshes not submitting to the controller.
Here is my full view code:
<form name="Register" class="m-t" role="form" action="<?php echo site_url("user_login/register_user/reg_new") ?>" method="post">
<div class="container">
<div class="picture-container">

Here is my controller code that i want to print my submitted code:
public function reg_new() {
$this->form_validation->set_message('is_unique', 'The %s is already taken.');
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error"><li>','</li></div>');
if ($this->form_validation->run('reg_config') == FALSE) {
$this->index();
} else {
$register_data = array(
'User_Id' => $this->input->post('user_id'),
'First_Name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'Middle_Name' => $this->input->post('middle_name'),

if($this->input->post('civil_stat') == 'Married') {

}
foreach ($this->input->post('educ_opt') as $educ) {
$count_educ = $count_educ++;
}
print_r($register_data);
print_r($count_educ);
print_r($spouse_data);
}
}
please take a look with my code why i cant submit it from controller.
thanks.

Answer 1

Thanks guys.. i just figured it out, its because of my form validation that i thought it doesn't submit because it did not satisfy my form validation and for that i returned $this->index();
