Problem using model method inside an if statement - El Forum - 09-21-2009

[eluser]porta_ss[/eluser]
I need to use a model (called "insertor"). When I call it inside

Code:
if($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE){}

...it just doesn't work. But if I replace

Code:
if($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE){}

with

Code:
if(1>0){}

...or anything else...it works :roll: I can't get it right...what's wrong with this line...

Code:
if($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE){}

????? I have another project too and in that one everything works properly...I spent some time comparing and comparing...nothing seems to be different...but one works...the other doesn't. Form_validation actually works, cause i can see errors being displayed when form is incomplete. but I just can't access the model from within that strange if() statement. Please help me out...

Code:
&lt;?php

class Parser extends Controller{

  function Parser()

  {

    parent::Controller();

    $this->load->helper (array('form','url'));

    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    $this->load->model('insertor');

  }

  function nou()

  {

    //Rules

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('nume', 'Nume', 'required|min_length[2]');

     $this->form_validation->set_rules('prenume', 'Prenume', 'required');

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('oras', 'Oras', 'required');

     $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email','required|valid_email');

     $this->form_validation->set_rules('telefon', 'Telefon', 'required');

      $this->form_validation->set_rules('referrer', 'Referrer', 'required');

    //Post form data

    $nume = $this->input->post('nume');

    $prenume = $this->input->post('prenume');

    $oras = $this->input->post('oras');

    $email = $this->input->post('email');

    $telefon = $this->input->post('telefon');

    $cui = $this->input->post('cui');

    $referrer = $this->input->post('referrer');

    $ocupatia = $this->input->post('ocupatia');

    $varsta = $this->input->post('varsta');

    $adresa = $this->input->post('adresa');

    $timp = $this->input->post('timp');

    $mesaj = $this->input->post('mesaj');

    //IF FORM IS FINE

    if($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE)

    {

      $this->insertor->new_reseller($nume,$prenume,$oras,$email,$telefon,$cui,$referrer,$ocupatia,$varsta,$adresa,$timp,$mesaj);       

    }

    //IF FORM IS INCOMPLETE

    else

    {

      $a['uri'] = 'reselleri_webdesign';

      $this->load->view('body/reselleri_view',$a);   

    }

  }

}

It doesn't explicitly return FALSE, I believe, so you need to change the !== to !=.

It won't work. Whatever I place inside that if()...works...but when I put if($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE) or...like you said...if($this->form_validation->run() != FALSE)...it just stops working. It's weird cause this,for example..works fine:

Code:
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){...}

. Then, if I try this, only the "if()" will execute, but the "else" won't.

Code:
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

{

    $a['uri'] = 'reselleri_webdesign';

    $this->load->view('body/reselleri_view');

}

else

{

    $this->insertor->new_reseller($nume,$prenume,$oras,$email,$telefon,$cui,$referrer,$ocupatia,$varsta,$adresa,$timp,$mesaj);

}

I just don't know what to do anymore...and this should be such a basic thing to do...

Assign $this->form_validation->run() to a variable, then run var_dump() on it and see just what its returning for you. Then you will know what you need to test for in your loop. If it returns boolean false, then you just need $result == FALSE or just if($result) - I suspect something is going wrong in your form and all it ever does is return FALSE, but you'll need to assign it to a variable and check it to be sure.

it returns bool(false) even when it shouldn't Sad

. I checked the names of the inputs, then the corresponding names in the controller...they are identical...no typing errors...I don't know...this is the form in the view...

Code:
&lt;?php $this->load->view('general/upper'); $var = base_url() . 'system/application/assets/'; ?&gt;
