I'm trying to use form helper but it's not working

My controller

Code:
&lt;?php

Class Forms extends Controller

{

  function Forms ()

  {

    parent::Controller();

  $this->load->helper('form');

  $this->load->library('validation');

  }

  function index ()

  {

    parent::Controller();

    $this->load->view('forms_view');

  }

}

?&gt;

My view

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head>

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;input type="text"/&gt;

&lt;?php  form_submit(); ?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

The text field is displayed but the submit button not. I tried to use the helper for all types of forms but none of them works

You're saying the code:

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_submit(); ?&gt;

Outputs the string "form_submit()" literally?

Try changing it to this!

Code:
$this->load->library('form_validation');

Correctly identified above that you were missing 'echo' in your view and you could also give your button a label:

Code:
// From the manual

echo form_submit('mysubmit', 'Submit Post!');

// Would produce:

&lt;input type="submit" name="mysubmit" value="Submit Post!" /&gt;

When it does when it's quoted without quotes it works thanks verynewtothis
