i have update form with this url
http://localhost/server/sscart/admin/catagory/Update/64

and form action
<form action="catagory/UpdateDetails" method="post">
controller/method

but the problem is that when i submit the form
the url will look like this
http://localhost/server/sscart/admin/catagory/Update/catagory/UpdateDetails

catagory/UpdateDetails

UpdateDetails -- is a method in catagory controller.which is updating the values of the form

and UpdateDetails is not accessable with this url
http://localhost/server/sscart/admin/catagory/Update/catagory/UpdateDetails

how i can access the updateDetails mehtod

When you submit your form its submitting to a url relative to its existing url. So if your already on catagory/update it will simply add the whatevers in the action parameter to the end of that.


The simplest solution is to use CI's form helper and use the form_open method, which will direct you to the correct url.

So at the top of your controller (or in your autoload file):

Code:
$this->load->helper('form')

And in your view, where you have the html form element, replace that with:

Code:
<?php echo form_open('catagory/UpdateDetails'); ?>
