Hi, I'm getting empty post variables when I use:

Code:
$this->input->post('variable')

and I haven't a clue why, has anyone else come across this before?

Cheers,

Please provide details about your <form> fields. Do you have one with "variable" as the name?

Please paste your form code.

Please add print_r($_POST) to your post processing controller and paste that in here.

Hi, thanks for replying, I figured out the problem, just some silly mistakes in the controller, lots of code in it so I missed a few things. I better start abstracting it properly before this happens again. Cheers.

Hi, Guys

I'm having problem too... it seems I have a blank output whenever I post the form. I already tried print_r($_POST) but still it doesn't have a value.

this is my view code

Code:
&lt;form action="process" method="post"&gt;

        <table>

            <tr><td>Name </td></tr> <tr><td> &lt;input type="text" name="xxx" &gt;&lt;/td></tr>

            <tr><td> Description</td></tr> <tr><td>&lt;textarea name="department_desc"&gt;&lt;/textarea></td></tr>

            <tr><td colspan="2"> &lt;input type="submit" value="submit"&gt; </td></tr>

        </table>

    &lt;/form&gt;

this is my controller code

Code:
class Process extends BC1_Controller{   //WHERE IN BC1_CONTROLLER extends the CI_controller

    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }

    function index()

    {

        if($this->input->post('xxx')){

            echo "SUCCESS";

        }else{

            echo "FAILED";

        }

    }

}

If you are not using the Form_Validation library and form_helper, you need to specify the full url in the action!

Google search form post

Hi InsiteFX,

yes, I already tried full URL for the action attribute of the form but still the problem persist.

Hi,

I already see the problem, it is in the htaccess. Smile

I'm having a similar problem, and I suspect my culprit is also my .htaccess. Can you tell us what you had to change in your .htaccess to get it to work?
