CI 3 - input class - paulkd - 10-31-2015
Hi,
Apologies if this is repeated. The documentation says the input class is
Quote:initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.
But this code
Code:
$email = $this->input->post('email');is generating this error
Quote:Fatal error: Call to undefined function post() in /home/ubuntu/workspace/application/controllers/admin/Homepage.php on line 46
What am I doing wrong ?
RE: CI 3 - input class - ivantcholakov - 10-31-2015
Does your Homepage class inherit directly or indirectly the CI_Controller class?
Edit: 2. If no success, see what would happen if you create a constructor for Homepage and inside it you call the parent constructor.
RE: CI 3 - input class - ciadmin - 10-31-2015
I trust you remembered to call the inherited constructor? That is what triggers the automatic loading of goodies.
In your controller:
Code:
function __construct() { parent::__construct();}RE: CI 3 - input class - Narf - 10-31-2015

That's redundant ... the important thing to remember is to call the parent constructor if you use a constructor in your class. Having no __construct() will automatically inherit the parent one.

Hi All,
Thanks for the responses. I believe the issue was actually with this line
Code:
$password = $this->input-post('password');I missed the greater than.
Thanks again for the responses.
Paul.

@Narf
You are correct, I hesitated a little, because I have the habit always to put a constructor in this "placeholder" state as ciadmin has written. This simplifies thinking. And then, rarely this constructor stays as it was initially, the place is prepared for adding more lines.

Yea, I get the logic behind it, but I'm always against having unnecessary code.
