Issue? with post data - El Forum - 04-28-2013

So, im having an issue with getting post data in a controller. It is working fine if I switch it to get data, but I need to use post though.

I broke it down to a very basic form in order to test it out. Below is the form and the controller/function. I also tried enabling the profiler and that also showed no post data. Thanks in advance for any help.

Code:
&lt;form id="bundleOrderInfo" name="bundleOrderInfo" acti echo(base_url()); ?&gt;catalog/bundleSubmit" method="post"&gt; 

&lt;input type="text" name ="test" id="test" value="blahblah"&gt;&lt;/input>

&lt;input type="submit"&gt;&lt;/input>

&lt;/form&gt;

controller:

Code:
public function bundleSubmit()

 {

  $this->load->model('catalog_model');

  $data['availableCategories']=$this->catalog_model->getCategories();

  $data['availableItems'] = $this->catalog_model->getByCategory($data['availableCategories']);

  $testing = $this->catalog_model->formData(); //seeing if I can get the post data in the model instead.

  $this->load->view('templates/header');

  $this->load->view('templates/menu',$data);

  print_r($_POST);

  //$values = $this->input->post('overallOptions');

  //echo($values);

  //print_r($this->input->post());

 }

From what you posted, the HTML is invalid. It should be more like:

Code:
&lt;form id="bundleOrderInfo" acti echo base_url('catalog/bundleSubmit'); ?&gt;" method="post"&gt; 

&lt;input type="text" name ="test" id="test" value="blahblah"&gt;&lt;/input>

&lt;input type="submit"&gt;&lt;/input>

&lt;/form&gt;

Also your input fields aren't valid markup, either.

I recommend you [url="http://validator.w3.org/"]validate your markup[/url].
