Data is not insert into database, there is no error shown - php

Question

I have problem in insert data in database; there is no error shown, but data is not inserted into the database.
Controller Code
function FormData($data){
if (!empty($_POST['name'])) {
$data = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'position' => $this->input->post('position'),
'about_me' => $this->input->post('about_me'),
'contact_me' => $this->input->post('contact_me'),
'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
'temp_addr' => $this->input->post('temp_addr'),
'perm_addr' => $this->input->post('perm_addr'),
'skill' => $this->input->post('skill'),
'photo' => $this->input->post('photo'),
);
$this->Maboutus->form_insert($data);
redirect('/admin');
}
}
Model Code
function form_insert($data){
$this->db->insert('aboutus',$data);
}

I am new in PHP. Data is not insert in database, and it shows no error; what can I do? I tried to search but I didn't find anything wrong.

Answer 1

You are not posting to a controller/method so the post goes nowhere. In the view change the line
<form action="#" method="POST" class="form-horizontal">
to this
<form action="<?php echo base_url('controller_name/FormData'); ?>" method="POST" class="form-horizontal">
In the controller change the definition of function FormData to this
function FormData(){ ...
You do not need to pass an argument so don't require the method to receive one.
This next bit is not relevant to your problem but a refinement to consider. You don't need to build a new array to send to the model. Because $_POST is going to be populated with your fields and your table column names are exactly the same as the form's field names you can simply send $_POST to the model.
$this->Maboutus->form_insert($_POST);
If there was data posted that you didn't want to send to the model you would unset those indexes before doing the insert. It should probably be done in the model so you don't mess with the actual $_POST array. For example:
function form_insert($data)
{
unset($data['not_to_be_inserted_key']); //remove this item from array
$this->db->insert('aboutus', $data);
}
But that is not needed in the example you give show.

Answer 2

I will assume you are successfully receiving the $_POST on your controller, then the problem I can see is the model, first of all you need to initialize it if you havent, you can do it with the following in your __construct
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('Maboutus_model');
}
Please be aware you ALWAYS need to add the "_model" after the model name
and when calling the function you do it with
$this->Maboutus_model->form_insert($data);
