Form that Submits to a Database - El Forum - 09-29-2008 [eluser]Jason McCallister[/eluser] I have been reading the user guide and I have been trying to figure something out. Basically I need a quick and simple tutorial that explains how to create a simple form that submits to a database. I know how to connect to the database, I'm just confused on how to create a form without the scaffolding. Also any good resources from the community?

I think you could make that a community tutorial site! Those are really useful! Form that Submits to a Database - El Forum - 09-29-2008 [eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser] Thanks. thisloadview.com will be a CI Tut/Screencast site eventually. Just bought Camtasia Studio so I can do better screencasts (longer than 5 mins!)

Form that Submits to a Database - El Forum - 09-29-2008 [eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser] We all start somewhere, manilodisan But you are right. You really need to be able to think through these things in your head before you start writing any code; meaning: You ought to know how it should work before you learn how it does work. Form that Submits to a Database - El Forum - 09-29-2008 [eluser]manilodisan[/eluser] I know we all start from somewhere but I consider this a very bad start. Codeigniter has it's own 'language' and I suggest you to learn PHP before learning CI. Not to judge anyone but I strongly believe your path to learning PHP would be longer this way and you might get confused many times along the way... Form that Submits to a Database - El Forum - 09-29-2008 [eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser] I fully agree, manilodisan. I was just pushing for a more constructive response (not that you were being cynical, but you know how this typically goes down in forums...)

Either way, that is not my style of learning. I am analytical so therefore I dive into things and learn by examples and breaking/fixing them. Hands on if you will. I have a background in ASP .NET not PHP so I may not be a "PHP Guru" but I can figure things out. As far as learning PHP before CI... I know a little bit of PHP but I want to learn the CI way. No that "traditional" learn PHP first method you recommend. @Colin, thanks for the links. |
