problem with form data

When you post the HTML form?

Can you show all code for the controller and the view?

View Page

Code:

<?= validation_list_errors() ?>
  <form action="<?=base_url();?>appointment/" method="post" name="rulesForm">
  <div class="form-group mt-3">
  <input type="text" name="name" />
  <input style="height: 14px;" type="checkbox" name="rulescheck" id="rulescheck" required/>
  <label for="rulecheck" class="rule">Agree |</label>
  </div>
  <div class="text-center"><button type="submit" name="rulesSubmit" id="rulesSubmit">Submit</button></div>
  </form>

Controller Page

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;
use App\Models\Appointments;

class Appointment extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('pages/kp');
    }
 
 public function rules()
 {
 helper('form');
 $head['title'] = "Rules & Regulations";
 $head['breadcrumb'] = "Rules";
 
 return view('template/header', $head)
 .view('pages/rules')
 .view('template/footer');
 }
 
 public function appointmentForm()
 {
 helper('form');
 $data = $this->request->getPost();
 
 print_r($data);
 }
} 


Route Page

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace Config;
use App\Controllers\Appointment;

// Create a new instance of our RouteCollection class.
$routes = Services::routes();

/*

// where controller filters or CSRF protection are bypassed.
// If you don't want to define all routes, please use the Auto Routing (Improved).

$routes->get('contactus', 'Home::contact');
//$routes->get('rules', 'Appointment::rules');

Sir, have you made any changes to the code?
because I am still getting the blank array

I just changed this: https://github.com/kenjis/problem-with-f...hp#L19-L22

Why don't you try my repository?

I tried your repository and that worked but I want to know why?
if you have not changed anything, what is the difference?

---

Here are my findings

even your repository does not work if I try to run the application using Xampp localhost URL
for ex: http://localhost/test/public/rules

even on the live server, in Cpanel, it does not work.

if I try using
php spark serve
command only then it works.

there is something wrong I think, please help.

The base URL is fine in App.php

I have had issues where there is a trailing '/' on the form action, suggest you try

Code:

<form action="<?= base_url('appointment'); ?>" method="post" name="rulesForm">

Thank Boss
you are a lifesaver.

even the administrator was unable to find the issue.

From day 1 CodeIgniter has always used Controller/Method with no / on the end for the URL of Form Data.

PHP Code:

// Examples:
<form action="controller/method" method="post">

// or
<form action="<?= base_url('controller/method');?>" method="post">
