$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->model('Submit_Database');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('submitf/submit');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
public function new_form_submit()
{
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('Title', 'Title', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('pages/home');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
} else {
$data = array(
'Title' => $this->input->post('Title'),
'Price' => $this->input->post('Price'),
'textarea' => $this->input->post('textarea'),
'Link' => $this->input->post('Link')
);
$result = $this->Submit_Database->submit_insert($data);
if ($result == TRUE) {
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('pages/about');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
} else {
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('submitf/submit');
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
}
redirect('');
}
}
Here is my model
<?php
Class Submit_Database extends CI_Model
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct(); // construct the Model class
$this->load->database();
}
// Insert registration data in database
public function submit_insert($data)
{
// Query to insert data in database
$this->db->insert('submit', $data);
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

The logic is this:
You need a function in model to select from the database.
A function in controller to call the model function and load the view with the data.
And a view file to actually display the data.
You can use sessions in order to store the data in a session variable and access it in any file. You have to load the session library.
