Loading View with Posting Data
#1

So I have a view called select_dates.php and it takes in POST data (start date, end date, and product ID). Once you press submit

$this->load->private_view('reports/edit', $data);

which will load a view that has the report based on the POST data given. However this view(reports/edit) also has a form at the top which can ask for these same 3 POST data in select_dates.php. However once I press submit here the data isn't getting posted at all. Any thoughts or ideas?

Please, share your controller method and view with us (in a php code block or as attachments).

Yes, I'm not really picturing it. If you load a view and pass it an array ($data), and that view itself loads a view, you don't need to pass the array to that second view. Like Wouter60 suggest, post some code, and make sure to put it in a PHP code block.
Hey, don't work without a PHP debugger. Several free IDEs have this features built in. Two are NetBeans and CodeLobster. Without a debugger, it's like you're driving with a blindfold on -- you are going to crash!

In your Select_product.php view, the hidden input field is outside the <form> ... </form> tags.

Yeah that doesn't matter though I am talking about the two date selector methods since I am not taking any post value from it. It is working on the Product View but I load the edit.php view the two date selector on that view doesn't post the data properly.

Where is select_dates.php and where is it called from? The code you included doesn't have it.

Also, now that I notice, what is $this->load->private_view? Is private_view an extension of the loader library? Could it be that it has the error where data passed to a view is not available in all views? Check out this simple example.

controller home.php
PHP Code:
public function index()
{
 
   $user_id $this->session->userdata('user_id');
 
   $data = array (
 
       'user_login' => $this->session->userdata('user_login'),
 
       'menu' => array (
 
           'Lists' => 'glist',
 
           'Memberships' => 'glist/membership',
 
           'Wish List' => 'gifts/wishlist',
 
           'Gifts' => 'gifts/commitlist',
 
           'Logout' => 'user/logout'
 
       )
 
   );
 
   $this->load->view('home_view'$data);
 
 }


view home_view.php
PHP Code:
<?php $this->load->view('header'); ?>

<div id="content">

<!-- content goes here -->

</div><!-- content -->

<?php $this->load->view('footer'); ?>

view footer.php
PHP Code:
   <div id="sidebar">
 
       <?php if ($this->session->userdata('user_id')) : ?>
            <h2>User</h2>
            <p><?php echo $this->session->userdata('user_login'?></p>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <dt>
        <?php foreach ($menu as $name => $link) : ?>
            <dl><a href="<?php echo $link ?>"><?php echo $name ?></a></dl>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        </dt>
    </div><!-- sidebar -->

</div><!-- page -->

</body>
</html> 

In the home controller, I load the user id and the menu into $data and then I go $this->load->view('home_view', $data);

So far, so good. The view home_view receives $data and converts its elements into variable. Then the view home_view calls the view footer.php. Note that it does not send it any data. It won't need to. When CI loads the view footer.php, the variables extracted from the $data are already available without having to do anything.

I could also have called all views from the controller instead of the controller calling one view that then calls other views. It works the same either way. So I'm suspecting private_view.

Hi Robert, Sorry by select_dates i meant select_product. And thanks for the example I have other parts of my website pages that is modeling itself after what your example has done. My question is my select_product view has POST fields and after pressing SUBMIT it LOADS(not Redirect) to another view (Edit.php) with POST fields. But the post fields are not getting detected on Edit.php.

In your edit.php (view) you are generating a form with these attributes:
Code:
<form action="" method="post" id="date_picker_form">

Because of the action="", the input is posted to the same url that was used to call the form.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I can see, the form is generated from the National method first. If you submit your form, the data is posted to the National method again, and I think that's where you are going wrong.

Code:
<form action="" method="post" id="date_picker_form">

Because of the action="", the input is posted to the same url that was used to call the form.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I can see, the form is generated from the National method first. If you submit your form, the data is posted to the National method again, and I think that's where you are going wrong.

I think that is the case. How would you post the data to the edit method view? if its possible! Thanks Wouter!
