Codeigniter Form Validation not submitting form and no errors - php

Question

I had this form working and to be honest I can not figure out what I might have done. The form will not submit now and I don't see any form validation errors.
controller:
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="ncerror" >', '</div>');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('media_consent', 'Media Consent', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('aic_name', 'Name', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('aic_phone', 'Cell phone', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('aic_email', 'Email', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
$data = $this->ncformdata();
$this->load->view('templates/sponsorheader', array('title' => 'National Convention Registration'));
var_export($_POST);
$this->load->view('ncform', $this->ncformdata());
$this->load->view('templates/footer2');
}
I have
<?php echo "errors" . validation_errors();
at the top of my form. After submitting form, the form reloads with "errors" displayed but no other output from the validation_errors function. Any help with troubleshooting?

Answer 1

should this line
$this->load->view('ncform', $this->ncformdata());
be this?
$this->load->view('ncform', $data);

Answer 2

You have a condition when
$this->form_validation->run() == FALSE
but I can not see any condition for when the form validation returns TRUE. Try adding a condition when
$this->form_validation->run() == TRUE
Example:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
$data = $this->ncformdata();
$this->load->view('templates/sponsorheader', array('title' => 'National Convention Registration'));
var_export($_POST);
$this->load->view('ncform', $this->ncformdata());
$this->load->view('templates/footer2');
}
else
{
echo 'There are no form validation errors!.';
}
