i am working on a small form that summits data to a table on to a database nothing spectacular. i am trying to add some validation rules but they are not working i am still a beginner at php and codeigniter so cant figure out why can someone look at my code and help me out tnx in advance.

i used the codeigniter user guide for validation in there explanation it looked very easy the whole structure is taken from the guide i daunt understand what the problem is .
You can do it Simple with one controller. I test it and it works!
Class name test.php
Controller name index
function index(){
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['name'] = $this->input->post('name');
$data['second_name'] = $this->input->post('second_name');
$data['phone'] = $this->input->post('phone');
$data['email'] = $this->input->post('email');
if($this->input->post('submit')) {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required|alpha|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('second_name', 'Second Name', 'required|alpha|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email');
if ($this->form_validation->run()){
$this->info_model->add_record($data);
}
}
$this->load->view('test');
}
View: test.php
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php echo form_open('test/index'); ?>
<ul id="info">
<li><label for='name'>Name:</label><?php echo form_input('name')?>
</li>
<li><label for='second_name'>Second Name:<label> <?php echo form_input('second_name');?>
</li>
<li><label fro='phpne'>Phone:</label> <?php echo form_input('phone');?></li>
<li><label for='email'>Email: </label><?php echo form_input('email');?>
</li>
<li><?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Start survay!!' );?></li>
</ul>
<?php echo form_close();?>
</body>
</html>
You're not sending the form to the method validation
view
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo validation_errors();
//you must redirect the form to the right method, in this case your method is "validation" on the controller is "info"
//another thing, you don't need to put all the url, just put the controller and the method, this way when you migrate your website to a server you don't have to worry changing the url
echo form_open('info/validation'); ?>
<ul id="info">
<li><label for='name'>Name:</label><?php echo form_input('name')?>
</li>
<li><label for='second_name'>Second Name:<label> <?php echo form_input('second_name');?>
</li>
<li><label fro='phpne'>Phone:</label> <?php echo form_input('phone');?></li>
<li><label for='email'>Email: </label><?php echo form_input('email');?>
</li>
<li><?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Start survay!!' );?></li>
</ul>
<?php echo form_close();?>
</body>
</html>
controller
<?php
class Info extends CI_Controller{
//I've added the public before function
public function index(){
$this->load->view('info_view');
}
//In this one I've added private, Why? Because you don't peopple to use this method if they go to http://(yourdomain). This way you can only use this function inside this controller
private function credentials()
{
$data = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'second_name' => $this->input->post('second_name'),
'phone' => $this->input->post('phone'),
'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
);
$this->info_model->add_record($data);
}
//this one is also as public, and it's the one who we'll receive the post request from your form
public function validation(){
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required|alpha|xss_clean');
$this->from_validation->set_rules('second_name', 'required|alpha|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
$this->load->view('info_view');
}else{
//if the form is valid then you call the private function credentials and save the data to your database
$this->credentials();
redirect('survaycontroller/index');
}
}
}
?>
Check the alterations I made to your code, if you need some more explain or help you're welcome
second param missing in second rule
$this->from_validation->set_rules('second_name', 'Second Name', 'required|alpha|xss_clean');
Look at the example below, You have to check $this->form_validation->run() inside your credentials() function.
public function add_category()
{
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data = array();
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
//Validation rules
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required');;
$this->form_validation->set_rules('description', 'Description', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('position', 'Position', 'trim|numeric');
$artist_category = $this->input->post('artist_category', TRUE);
$data['artist_category'] = $artist_category;
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
$this->template->write('title', 'Category : Add Category');
$this->template->write_view('content', 'category/add_category',$data);
$this->template->render();
}
else
{
$name = trim($this->input->post('name',TRUE));
$description = trim($this->input->post('description',TRUE));
$position = trim($this->input->post('position',TRUE));
$colour = trim($this->input->post('colour',TRUE));
$language_id = trim($this->input->post('language_id',TRUE));
//Add record to categories table
$category_id = $this->Category_model->insert_category($name,$description,$position,$colour,$date_added);
$this->session->set_flashdata('success_msg', 'Category added successfully.');
//Redirect to manage categories
redirect('category');
}
}
else
{
$this->template->write('title', 'Category : Add Category');
$this->template->write_view('content', 'category/add_category');
$this->template->render();
}
}

I want call the javascript function into callback function of codeigniter controller.
Controller: Callback function
public function email_exist($id) {
$this->db->where('email', $id);
$query = $this->db->get('login');
if (!$query->num_rows() > 0) {
$this->form_validation->set_message(__FUNCTION__, $this->email_validate());
return FALSE;
} else {
return TRUE;
}
Javascript: Alert function
function email_validate(){
alert('Invalid Email Id');
}
An uncaught Exception was encountered

)) . form_label('REMEMBER ME', 'remember');
?>
</div>
<div class='btnlogin'>
<?php echo form_submit('login', 'LOGIN'); ?>
</div>
</form>
you cant do that in Codeigniter, use Codeigniter default form validation library
View here
if you want to add css for validation errors then try set_error_delimeters()
if you have bootstrap then use
alert alert-danger
class, else create one class
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="alert alert-danger">', '</div>');
see
[other suggestions]
instead of putting all error in the top, you can also try
<?php
echo form_error('email');
form_input('email', 'E-MAIL', set_value('email'));
?>
other options is jquery validation or js validation, write js in view or external .js file
<?php
data = array(
'name' => 'username',
'id' => 'username', //use the id for jquery validation $('#username').on('blur', function() { });
'value' => 'johndoe',
'maxlength' => '100',
'size' => '50',
'style' => 'width:50%'
'onBlur' => 'email_validate();' //use this for javascript validation
);
echo form_input($data);
?>

i have read your question you didn't write write the code for fetching data. you only submitted it in you database.
here is simple example so you can easily finds out the solution
in your controller file:
public function view()
{
$this->load->model('uModel'); //edit it with you model name
$data['users']= $this->uModel->All();
$this->load->view('list' , $data);
}
in your model file:
//Func for getting all data of a table in a 'users' variable by using get method
public function All()
{
return $users = $this->db->get('users')->result_array();
}
and create a table view file in view folder where you can fetch your data
<tbody>
<?php if (!empty($users)) { foreach ($users as $user) { ?>
<tr>
<td> <?php echo $user['userid'] ?></td>
<td> <?php echo $user['name'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } }
?>
Hope it will help you

I have used codeigniter in the past but I am building a social network and I am working on the registration. I have autoloaded the form and form validation helpers. I have a form going to my user controller/register function and I have validation rules setup but its ignoring them and proceeding to the next page. I cant for the life of me figure out why. Any help is appreciated..the code and rules are not complete (obviously) but the validation should work at this point

<?php echo validation_errors('<p class="error">'); ?>

Review your code, you're missing a closing bracket on your first if.
I wrote a quick CI library class to render my pages so I wouldn't have to keep typing '$this->load->view' all the time and for DRY. Now when I re-render my contact form after passing in invalid data the error messages aren't showing up.
The library class:
class Page extends CI_Controller {
public function render($page, $data) { // $page should be path to page view
$this->load->view('fragments/header', $data);
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view($page);
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view('fragments/footer');
}
}
and the controller:
class Contact extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library(array('form_validation', 'email', 'page'));
}
public function index() {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_name', 'From', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('subject', 'Subject', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) {
$this->load->library('page');
$this->page->render('contact/contact', array('title' => 'Contact Me')); // pass in page title
/* IT WORKED THIS WAY
$this->load->view('fragments/header', array('title' => 'Contact Me')); // pass in page title
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view('contact/contact'); // TODO maintain form state
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view('fragments/footer');
*
*/
}
//SNIP
contact form view:
<h1>Contact Me</h1>
<?php echo form_open('contact', 'id="contact_form"'); ?>
<label for="sender_name">Name:</label>
<?php echo form_input('sender_name'); ?>
<span class="error"><?php echo form_error('sender_name'); ?></span>
<label for="sender_email">Email:</label>
<?php echo form_input('sender_email'); ?>
<span class="error"><?php echo form_error('sender_email'); ?></span>
<label for="subject">Subject:</label>
<?php echo form_input('subject'); ?>
<span class="error"><?php echo form_error('subject'); ?></span>
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<?php echo form_textarea('message'); ?>
<span class="error"><?php echo form_error('message'); ?></span>
<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Send'); ?>
How can I render pages using this helper and still retrieve error messages from form_validation library?
Create a view called template.php in your views folder with the following code in it:
<?php
$this->load->view('fragments/header', $this->_ci_cached_vars); // pass $data vars
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view($view);
$this->load->view('fragments/navigation');
$this->load->view('fragments/footer');
Then use the below controller code:
public function index() {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_name', 'From', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('subject', 'Subject', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) {
$data = array(
'view' => 'contact/contact',
'title' => 'Contact Me');
$this->load->view('template', $data);
}
You don't need to create a library to do this as you can just create a template view which will load the appropriate views and the specified view and pass the data along to them.
