Recording drop down box on model

In your model if form false I would run data again and only use two equal  ==  and don't for get to set_rules http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/li...pping-data

PHP Code:

function something() {

    $data['options'] = array(
        'administrator' => 'Administrator',
        'manager'=> 'Manager',
    );
 
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('roles', 'Roles', 'trim');
            
    if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
                
      $this->load->view('addusers', $data); // If false Run Data            
               
    } else {
                
        $this->mpages->add_user();
        $this->load->view('addusers', $data);
                 
    }    

} 


Another controller way is this

PHP Code:

function something() {

  $this->form_validation->set_rules('roles', 'Roles', 'trim');
            
    if ($this->form_validation->run() == true) {
                
      $this->mpages->add_user();
      redirect('successpage');          
               
    } 

    $data['options'] = array(
        'administrator' => 'Administrator',
        'manager'=> 'Manager',
    );
              
        
    $this->load->view('addusers', $data);
} 


Model

PHP Code:

public function add_user() {    
            
    $data = array(
        'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
        'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
        'password' => $this->input->post('password'),
        // 'role' => form_dropdown('roles', $options, 'administrator') form dropdown is for view
        'role' => $this->input->post('roles')   
    );        
        
    $this->db->insert('login', $data);
        
} 


On view

Code:

form_dropdown('roles', $options, 'administrator')

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
