I just cant get the anchor to work - El Forum - 03-25-2009

Hi everybody,

Ok, thanks for your help in advance ... I JUST CANT FIGURE THIS ONE OUT ... Sad

My URL_HELPER is loaded. I can call other functions inside the helper.

In my form, my code looks like this ...

Code:
<span class=note>&nbsp;&lt;?=anchor('web_root/forgotten_password', $this->lang->line('prompt_user_forgotten_password'))?&gt;</span></p>

My url looks like this after the anchor was selected ...

http://localhost/Igniter/web_root/forgotten_password

This looks correct ... The controller I am calling looks like this ...

Code:
&lt;?php

class Web_root extends Controller {

    function __construct(){

        parent::Controller();

        $this->web_auth->check();

    }

    function index()

    {        

        some code here ...

        }

function forgotten_password()

    {    

            //display the form

            $data['heading'] = $this->lang->line('heading_forgot_password');

            $data['page'] = $this->config->item('FAL_forgotten_password_view');

            $this->layout->buildPage($this->config->item('FAL_forgotten_password_view'), $data);

        }

    }

Do you use the index.php in your url normally? It's probably that which you are missing.

Not so sure what you are trying to tell me.

In all my controllers I do have the Index function, I also have an index.php file in my root.

I do use .htacces that looks like this ...

Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Igniter/index.php?$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
# Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

Is there any Apache configuration, or php.ini which needs to be set? Similar code on another website works perfectly.

I tried using the same website on my current configuration, and the anchors there are not working either on my current configuration.

That is why I think there must be some config issue, or something similar?

Just want to thank you all for your effort in helping me.

I found the problem ...

Inside the httpd.conf file, uncomment the following line

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Thanks again.

PS. I sure hope I can save some other developer some time with this post.
