Controller not loading appropriate view

[eluser]Brad K Morse[/eluser]
SOLVED: had to print form_hidden() and the step_attributes array was off, now I printed print form_hidden('step_id[]', $id); w/i the loop in confirmation-view

UPDATE: The all-results-view source-code appearing in the confirmation-view was due to my browser caching it.

Now that I was able to see the confirmation-view source code, I noticed it did not display the hidden fields in the source-code. I commented out everyone except the message form_hidden one, but it still did not display them.

Just tried

Code:

print form_hidden('step_id', '2'); and it showed up in source

This controller submits information posted from a form.

v1.7.2 [b]autoload file:[/b]

[code]$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'text', 'form');
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','Adldap', 'session');

form_submit()'s for each form:

Code:

print form_submit('confirm_first', 'Submit');
print form_submit('confirmed', 'Submit');

First the info is posted to a confirmation-view, that prints out what the user posted, and asks them to make sure everything is correct before inserting into the database.

Once $this->input->post('confirmed') is true, it posts the data, runs it thru the _insert private controller.

submit controller:

Code:

function submit() {
    $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
    if($this->session->userdata('is_logged_in')) {
        if(!$this->input->post('confirm_first') && !$this->input->post('confirmed')) {
            // display form if not submitted
            $data['outcome_message'] = "Please complete the form below";
            $this->_loadForm($data);
        } elseif ($this->input->post('confirm_first') && $this->input->post('step_id') && $this->input->post('message') && $this->input->post('department_id')) {
            // if each field is completed, present confirm view
            $data['message'] = $this->input->post('message');
            $data['step_id'] = $this->input->post('step_id');
            $data['department_id'] = $this->input->post('department_id');
            $this->load->model('add_model');
            $data['department_title'] = $this->add_model->getDepartmentTitle($this->input->post('department_id'));
            $data['step_descriptions'] = $this->add_model->getStepTitles($this->input->post('step_id'));
            $this->load->view('confirmation-view', $data);
        } elseif ($this->input->post('confirmed') && $this->input->post('step_id') && $this->input->post('message') && $this->input->post('department_id')) {
            // info confirmed, insert into SP_COMMENTS & SP_TRANSACTIONS table
            $this->load->model('add_model');
            $this->_insert($this->input->post('step_id'));
            $data['outcome_message'] = "Thank you for submitting";
            $this->load->view('comment-submitted-view',$data);
        } else {
            print '<h1>Did not meet any of the ifs of elses</h1>';
        }
    } else {
        // redirects them to login
        redirect('add/login');
    }
}

private _insert controller:

Code:

function _insert($step_ids) {
    $UUID = uniqid();
  $this->add_model->insertComment($UUID);
  $this->add_model->logTransaction($UUID, $step_ids);
}

The problem is, it shows the data appropriately on confirmation-view, but when I go to check the source, it displays the source for the all-results-view (which is odd because it shows the confirmation-view in the browser just as it should be), which is loaded within the _loadForm private controller:

Code:

function _loadForm($data) {
    $this->load->model('add_model');
  $data['goals'] = $this->add_model->getGoals('SP_GOALS');
  $data['objectives'] = $this->add_model->getObjectives('SP_OBJECTIVES');
  $data['steps'] = $this->add_model->getSteps('SP_STEPS');
  $data['departments'] = $this->add_model->getDepartments();
  $this->load->view('all-results-view',$data);
}

When $this->input->post('confirmed') && $this->input->post('step_id') && $this->input->post('message') && $this->input->post('department_id') is true, seen in the second elseif of submit controller, it actually does not return true, because step_id is empty.

Unsure why step_id is not being posted from the confirmation-view page, code as follows:

screen shot of confirmation-view: http://cl.ly/2F0k0E3L1N251X1m3q1C

Code:

<?php
    $data['page_title'] = "Please Confirm";
    $this->load->view('include/header', $data); ?>
    <h1>Please Confirm</h1>

    <h3>Department</h3>
    <p>&lt;?=$department_id.' '.$department_title?&gt;</p>
    
    <h3>Message</h3>
    <pre>&lt;?=$message?&gt;</pre>
    
    <h3>Action Steps selected</h3>
    
    &lt;?php
    print form_open(uri_string()); // open form tag
    
    /* ----- Storing values into hidden inputs for post ----- */
    $message_attributes = array(
        'name'        =>        'message',
        'value'        =>        $message
    );
        
    form_hidden($message_attributes);
    
    form_hidden('department_id', $department_id);

        &lt;?php
    foreach($step_id as $id) {
        $step_attributes = array(
            'name'        =>    'step_id[]',
            'value'        =>    $id
        );
    
        form_hidden($step_attributes);
    }
    
    foreach($step_descriptions as $r) {
        print '<p><strong>Action Step '.$r->SP_STEPS_RANK.'</strong> '.$r->SP_STEPS_DESCRIPTION.'</p>';
    }
    
    print '<p>'.form_submit('confirmed', 'Submit').' <a href="[removed]history.go(-1)" title="Go Back" class="not-correct-button">Not correct, go back</a></p>';    // submit button
    print form_close();
    ?&gt;

&lt;?php $this->load->view('include/footer'); ?&gt;
