Form-Action Variables not working while routing - MarcoElias - 10-19-2020
Hi everyone,
it looks like my CI4 does not process form variables.
I have a very simple form with an action to "/login/" for example.
goes like this:
helper(['form', 'url']);
echo form_open('/login/user_login_process/');
echo form_input("eingabezeile", "eingabezeile");
echo form_close();
If I push the form button, the form fields are not available in the action-controller.
In my action-controller it allways says:
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; --> "get".
And none of these work: $variable = $this->request->getPost("formfieldname"); doesnt give the value I entered.
I dont see the forest in front of the trees, as we say in german...
Thanks for a tip!
ME.

You need to add your form submit button before form_close()
PHP Code:
echo form_open('/action_route');
echo form_input('input_name', 'input_value');
echo form_submit('submit_name', 'submit_value');
echo form_close();

You must set `method="post"` in your form.
If it is not set, then form sends data with GET.
And you are trying to get data from POST - $this->request->getPost("formfieldname")

It now works, probably one of those two things was not correct.
Thank you for your immediate support!!!

form_open() appears to default to POST according to the documentation: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/form_helper.html?#form_open.
