how to post a form to the controller - El Forum - 08-29-2011

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi Team,

I have created a controller

Code:
&lt;?php

class conference extends CI_Controller {

    public function index()

    {

     $this->load->helper('url');

     $this->load->helper('form');

$this->load->view("login.php");

    }

    public function checklogin()

    {

     echo "some login test";

    }

}

?&gt;

Now in the login.php file i need to action to checklogin

Code:
&lt;form action="what do i put here" method='POST'&gt;

I do not get what do I put in the action tag to submit to the checklogin function of the conference controller.

I tried using the following in routes.php

$route['conference/checklogin'] = "conference/checklogin";

but it does not work.

Can I do it using codeigniter or do I need to write my .htaccess file and do a url redirection.

Regards,
Anubhav Jha
