Whenever I submit the form with the Add Employee button, the 

PHP Code:

$this->form_validation->run()  


always return false even though the fields are filled properly.
How can I fix this problem

Quote:I used codeigniter3. I found the solution, I had name mismatch for  input data in the view and corresponding variables in controller when fetching data. Found it and fixed. Thanks
