CODEIGNITER ROOKIE - El Forum - 07-24-2009

Hello everyone, I'm trying to make a register form and I would like to check if the username is available... I know thats AJAX... I know that I can create a button that calls a javascript function.... the script read the input, send to the PHP code(db query), and receive the answer to display in a <div>....
The thing I don't know is how to do it in CodeIgniter .... If somebody wants to help me with the sintax or give me some examples ... I'll appreciate...
Thank!

Before you create a checker in AJAX, it's probably best to try one in just plain PHP and then once you get that concept then create an AJAX one.
You'll need to create a callback function for your form validation class. Here's the link http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html#callbacks
Let me know if your still stuck, I can post some code snippets if you'd like.

Yeah Lab Assistan, thanks for tying to help me. I understand that validation class. So ... what's next?

I think the form validation uses a form submit. Plus, the callback is only ran once a form has been submitted, which really isn't ajax.
You may want to read up on jQuery or script.aculo.us. They have some examples you can try in normal PHP. But Cro_Crx is right, you'll need to get the idea down before implementing it in CodeIgniter

I recommend following this tutorial for the jQuery : http://jqueryfordesigners.com/using-ajax-to-validate-forms/
If you get too stumped on how to use your JS file or so, post back.
