CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth adding user using modal - php

Question

I am new to Ion Auth codeigniter library. Now I am making a custom bootstrap form to add a user using modal but I always get errors. Any help would be much appreciated. The modal is inside the userList.php view that displays all registered users.
Controller: Users.php
function create_user()
{
$this->data['title'] = "Create User";
if (!$this->ion_auth->logged_in() || !$this->ion_auth->is_admin())
{
redirect('auth', 'refresh');
}
$tables = $this->config->item('tables','ion_auth');
$identity_column = $this->config->item('identity','ion_auth');
$this->data['identity_column'] = $identity_column;
// validate form input
$this->form_validation->set_rules('first_name', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_fname_label'), 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('last_name', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_lname_label'), 'required');
if($identity_column!=='email')
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('identity',$this->lang->line('create_user_validation_identity_label'),'required|is_unique['.$tables['users'].'.'.$identity_column.']');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_email_label'), 'required|valid_email');
}
else
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_email_label'), 'required|valid_email|is_unique[' . $tables['users'] . '.email]');
}
$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_phone_label'), 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('company', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_company_label'), 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_password_label'), 'required|min_length[' . $this->config->item('min_password_length', 'ion_auth') . ']|max_length[' . $this->config->item('max_password_length', 'ion_auth') . ']|matches[password_confirm]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password_confirm', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_password_confirm_label'), 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true)
{
$email = strtolower($this->input->post('email'));
$identity = ($identity_column==='email') ? $email : $this->input->post('identity');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$additional_data = array(
'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),

);
var_dump($first_name);
}
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true && $this->ion_auth->register($identity, $password, $email, $additional_data))
{
// check to see if we are creating the user
// redirect them back to the admin page
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', $this->ion_auth->messages());
redirect("auth", 'refresh');
}
else
{
// display the create user form
// set the flash data error message if there is one
$this->data['message'] = (validation_errors() ? validation_errors() : ($this->ion_auth->errors() ? $this->ion_auth->errors() : $this->session->flashdata('message')));
$this->data['first_name'] = array(
'name' => 'first_name',

What errors are you getting??
In your controller, Use this to verify your results
After query;
echo $this->db->last_query();
var_dump($_POST);exit;
First check all the post data and the query and tell the errors you're getting
