1 submit and go to create.php
2 preview and go to preview.php


how i can do this in ci
like in Forum 'preview post' 'submit post'

Process the form in same controller, just make actions based on what submit button was clicked:

Code:

if ($this->input->post('preview'))
{

    // Show preview stuff

}

if ($this->input->post('create'))
{

    // Create stuff

}

I guess you need to use JS then. This will help you.

Without javascript, you can't. One form can only have one action.

you can't use multiple buttons to submit form only one button can work at one time but you can have multiple submit button on one page for one form with same name but different value for example

Code:

<form action="welcome/action">
<input type="submit" name="actionbtn" value="create" />
<input type="submit" name="actionbtn" value="preview" />
  </form>

now in your action get the button value if you are using CI

$action = $this->input->get_post("actionbtn");
switch($action){
case 'create':
    $this->create();
break;
case 'preview':
  $this->preview();
break;

call create or preview function of controller
}

Try It

Code:

<!-- block [8400], or [8600] both work correctly, [8500] does not. -->

<form method='post' action="">
    <input type="submit" name="action" value="create" />
    <input type="submit" name="action" value="preview" />
</form>

<?php
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
// [8400] this block works correctly
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
$action = $this->input->post("action");
switch($action)
{
    case 'create':
        // $this->create();
        echo '<br>[8401] create';
        break;
    case 'preview':
        // $this->preview();
        echo '<br>[8402] preview';
        break;
}

// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
// [8500] these two lines do nothing
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
echo '<br>[8501] do nothing ' . $this->input->post('preview');
echo '<br>[8502] do nothing ' . $this->input->post('create');

// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
// [8600] these two blocks work correctly
// +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
if ($this->input->post('action') == 'create')
{
    // $this->create();
    echo '<br>[8601] create';
}

if ($this->input->post('action') == 'preview')
{
    // $this->preview();
    echo '<br>[8602] preview';
}
