Loading the form and validating in the same function? - El Forum - 04-29-2010

Duh! And I thought through some magic trick I'd never come to understand, this code example I saw on the net works like a charm!
Thanks a lot, and sorry for causing you all frustration.

But why your controller is like that? I mean the controllers is like then:
Code:
function foo()
{
$rules = array('THE RULES HER');
$this->form_validation->set_rules($rules);
if($this->form_valitaion->run())
{
//foo true
}
else
{
//var false
}

Yes, I read that piece of code I wrote (well, something like that) somewhere on the Internet. I assumed the rules have to be set only when the page is loaded as a form, and therefore, the strange form you saw. It is fixed now, though.

If you'd like to see a working example of form validation and posting to the same method, you might check out the add_category method on this page:
