Form validation not working - jaynarayan - 09-10-2017

PHP Code:
//controller
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use 
CodeIgniter\Controller;

 
   class Form extends Controller
    
{
 
           public function index()
 
           {
 
               helper(['form''url']);

 
           if (! $this->validate([]))
 
                   {
 
                           echo view('Signup', [
 
                               'validation' => $this->validation
                            
]);
 
                   }
 
                   else
                    
{
 
                           echo view('Success');
 
                   }
 
           }
 
   
PHP Code:
//success.php
<html>
<
head>
 
   <title>My Form</title>
</
head>
<
body>

<
h3>Your form was successfully submitted!</h3>

<
p><?= anchor('form''Try it again!'?></p>

</body>
</html> 
PHP Code:
//form
<html>
<
head>
 
   <title>My Form</title>
</
head>
<
body>

<?= 
$validation->listErrors() ?>

<?= form_open('form'?>

<h5>Username</h5>
<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" />

<h5>Password</h5>
<input type="text" name="password" value="" size="50" />

<h5>Password Confirm</h5>
<input type="text" name="passconf" value="" size="50" />

<h5>Email Address</h5>
<input type="text" name="email" value="" size="50" />

<div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>

</form>

</body>
</html> 

I am following the tutorial from the docs , but the form is not displaying. it shows validation is successful every time. try it again link is also not working

Try this:
Change <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> to <input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit" />
and
if (! $this->validate([])) to if ($this->request->getPost("submitted") == null || ! $this->validate([]))
