Hi,
Got a simple 'edit' style form which, when submitted, gets validated. If there are errors then I want to redisplay the form with whatever the user entered ... can;t for the life of me recal how to do the redisplay!!!
Here's the controller which loads the form:
Code:
public function edit_staff($par_id)
{
$this->data['staff'] = $this->M_staff->get_selected($par_id);
$alldepts=$this->M_department->get_all();
$this->data['dropdown'] = $this->M_department->build_dept_dropdown($alldepts);
$this->data['title'] = 'staff Management';
$this->data['message'] = $this->session->flashdata('message');
$this->data['main'] = 'v_staff_edit';
$this->load->view('v_template', $this->data, 'refresh');
}
Here's the controller that validates it and 'should' do the redisplay
Code:
public function edit_staff_submit()
{
if ($this->form_validation->run('staff') == true)
{
$data = array(
'fname'=> $this->input->post('fname'),
'lname' => $this->input->post('lname'),
'dept'=> $this->input->post('dept')
);
$this->M_staff->update_record($this->input->post('staffid'),$data);
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', "<p>staff updated successfully.</p>");
redirect('staff/index', 'refresh');
}
else // If validation fails, r.edisplay
{
What to do here, how do i redisplay view?????
}
}
Here's the view:
Code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 well">
<?php
echo form_open("staff/edit_staff_submit/");
echo form_hidden('staffid', $staff->staffid);
?>
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row colbox">
<div class="col-md-4">
<label for="fname" class="control-label">First Name</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input id="fname" name="fname" placeholder="fname" type="text" class="form-control" value="<?php echo set_value('fname', $staff->fname); ?>" />
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('fname'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row colbox">
<div class="col-md-4">

</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<?php echo form_dropdown('dept', $dropdown, $staff->dept);?>
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('fname'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-4 col-md-8 text-left">

<?php echo anchor('staff/index','<input id="btn_cancel" name="btn_cancel" type="reset" class="btn btn-danger" value="Cancel">')?>
</div>

<?php echo form_close(); ?>
