Unable to insert data with CodeIgniter - php

Question

I am making a website in CodeIgniter and for one of these pages I need to insert information into a database, however every time I enter information into my form and submit it, the page refreshes like it had been submitted but nothing enters the database.
Controller:
public function insertjob()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$data['title']="Add a new job";
$this->load->view("insertjob", $data);
}
public function addingjob()
{
$jobtype=$this->input->post('jobtype');
$jobinfo=$this->input->post('jobinfo');
$this->load->model("cmodel");
if($this->cmodel->addjob($jobtype, $jobinfo)){
$data['msg']="New job addition successful";
}else{
$data['msg']="There was an error please try again";
}
$this->load->view("confirmation",$data);
Model:
function addjob($jobtype,$jobinfo)
{
$newjob=array("jobtype"=>$jobtype,"jobinfo"=>$jobinfo);
return $this->db->insert('clientjobs', $newjob); exit;
View:
</p>
<?php
echo form_open('client/insertjob');
echo form_label('Job:', 'Job');
echo form_input('jobtype');
echo form_label('Job information:', 'Job information');
echo form_input('jobinfo');
echo form_submit('Add job', 'Submit Post!');
echo form_close();
?>

Answer 1

Try removing the exit from your model:
function addjob($jobtype,$jobinfo)
{
$newjob=array("jobtype"=>$jobtype,"jobinfo"=>$jobinfo);
return $this->db->insert('clientjobs', $newjob);
}
It's not neccessary and could be breaking the database class, as well as halting any execution for the application.

Answer 2

Here's your problem:
echo form_open('client/insertjob');
If you look at your HTML code in your browser, you'll see something like this:
<form action="client/insertjob">
There will probably be a whole bunch of other attributes in your form tag - they're not important for this answer.
That action attribute is telling the browser where to go after you click submit. Where is it going? Back to the insertjob method. But it needs to go to your addingjob method - that's where the database update is actually being done. So change the form_open call to:
echo form_open('client/addingjob');

Answer 3

As I see your are using 2 controller functions for posting, page 1 to page 2. You have error on form open you should post your data to addingjob not insertjob.
echo form_open('client/addingjob');
will fix your issue but I highly recommend you to use, one controller for form submit. Below code will send post to same url. And you could add some attributes on it.
<?php
$attributes = array('class' => 'form-horizontal');
echo form_open($this->uri->uri_string(),$attributes); ?>
