how to read response values from the form - El Forum - 01-05-2010
[eluser]Thea_G[/eluser]
Can someone direct me to an example of how to read the form values on the view page from the controller function where it was submitted?
I used firebug and I can see the values got passed in the http response but how do I stuff them into the $data array I'm trying to build ( so I can update my database).
I want to do something like this:
Code:
$data = array(
'firstname' => post('firstname'),
'lastname' => post('lastname'),
'email' => post('email')
);
$this->db->insert('users', $data);how to read response values from the form - El Forum - 01-05-2010

If you want to see the submitted value in the view you can do this in your controller
Code:
$data['inputs'] = array(
'firstname' => post('firstname'),
'lastname' => post('lastname'),
'email' => post('email')
);
$this->load->view('your_view_file',$data );And in the view
you echo $input you will see the array.

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to codeigniter and not quite sure where to find a good example of inserting and updating the database with data entered from a web form.
In my example above, the problem is with the $data variable, it isn't getting the values assigned from my post('fieldname') command. This is just a command I made up since I don't know the way I'm supposed to do it in codeigniter. I'm not sure how to pull the values out of the form so I can add them to my database.
thanks!

Code:

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

just show your VIEW and your CONTROLLER code, we will be able to you where the problem is.
