Codeigniter contact form - newbie
#1

[eluser]runtaylor[/eluser]
I'm brand new to code igniter and learning it as I'm working on this website
Basically I'm trying to get a contact form going but it's proving to be VERY difficult for some reason

I have the form displaying on my site and everything but when I submit it it goes to a blank page and doesn't send the email or go to success_view like it should

the page is: http://www.vancouverticket.com/contact then it goes to contact/emailsender instead of running the email sender function

I'm sure I'm missing something silly but please help me out
I got the original code from: https://github.com/furiston/codeigniter-...ll/1/files and modified the code a bit

here is the controller:
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Contact extends CI_Controller{
    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    
    function index(){
      
// load email and form helpers ** you can autoload them from config/autoload.php
$this->load->helper('email');
$this->load->helper('form');

  
   $this->load->model('Testimonials_model');
  $navigation_data['testimonial'] = $this->Testimonials_model->show_random();
  
  $header_data['page_title']   = 'Contact Vancouver Ticket';
  $navigation_data['active_nav']  = 'contact';
  
  $this->load->view('templates/header', $header_data);
  $this->load->view('templates/left_navigation_view', $navigation_data);
  $this->load->view('contact_view');
  $this->load->view('templates/footer');
    }

    function emailsender(){
// load form validation class
     $this->load->library('form_validation');

// set form validation rules
     $this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_name', 'From', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sender_email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('subject', 'Subject', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'required');

     if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
  $this->load->view('contact_view');
}
else {
  // you can also load email library here
  // $this->load->library('email');

  // set email data
      $this->email->from($this->input->post('sender_email'), $this->input->post('sender_name'));
      $this->email->to('[email protected]');
      $this->email->reply_to($this->input->post('sender_email'), $this->input->post('sender_name'));
      $this->email->subject($this->input->post('subject'));
      $this->email->message($this->input->post('message'));
      $this->email->send();

  // create a view named "succes_view" and load it at the end
      $this->load->view('success_view');
}    
    }
}
?>


and the view

Code:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Contact Us</title>
<meta name="description" c Vancouver Ticket and Tour Service at [email protected]">

<meta name="copyright" c ? 2012 Vancouver Ticket">

<style type="text/css">

.row:before, .row:after {
  display: none;
  content: "";

}
.row { display: block;
padding-right:-50px;}



</style>
</head>
  <div class="span9" >
<div class="well" >
&lt;?php echo form_open('contact/emailsender'); ?&gt;
<h1>Send your message:</h1>
<table>
  <tr>
   <td>&lt;?php echo form_input('sender_name', 'From');?&gt;&lt;?php echo form_error('sender_name'); ?&gt;</td>    
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>&lt;?php echo form_input('sender_email', 'Email');?&gt;&lt;?php echo form_error('sender_email'); ?&gt;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>&lt;?php echo form_input('subject', 'Subject');?&gt;&lt;?php echo form_error('subject'); ?&gt;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>&lt;?php echo form_textarea('message', 'Message');?&gt;&lt;?php echo form_error('message'); ?&gt;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>&lt;?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Send');?&gt;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
&lt;?php echo form_close();?&gt;
[removed]
  $(function() {
      $('input[type=text], textarea').focus(function() {
       $(this).val('');
    });
   });
[removed]
</div></div>
