CodeIgniter FormValidator Example doesn't work out of the box

Started with changing my '.htaccess' to what CroNiX suggested. - No difference.

With $config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO'; I'm thrown back to '/index.php' when I try to access the controller 'form.php' through 192.168.2.115/form ... the rewrite rules from above acts in this.

Setting my '.htaccess' back to what was before. Still nothing useful - just a redirection to the main '/index.php' page in the root (/var/www/index.php - where /var/www/ is the root).

Setting my '.htaccess' to what CroNiX suggested again.

Changing to $config['uri_protocol'] = 'QUERY_STRING';. Shows no difference to 'PATH_INFO'.

Changing to $config['uri_protocol'] = 'ORIG_PATH_INFO';. Shows no difference to 'PATH_INFO'.

Changing back to original value: $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; Now the 'form.php' is shown as expected - and not the main '/index.php' - when i write 192.168.2.115/form in the browser.

So this definitive rules out $config['uri_protocol'] under the given circumstance.

In the beginning af the main '/index.php' file in the root (/var/www/) I set this code:

Code:

if(isset($_POST)){
   echo '<br> index - $_POST is set! <br>';
   echo count($_POST) . '<br>';
  
   echo 'index - var_dump($_POST)--&gt;>';
   var_dump($_POST);
   echo '<<--var_dump($_POST) <br><br>';
  
  } else {
   echo '$_POST is NOT set! <br>';
  }

This returns the following:

Code:

index - $_POST is set!
0
index - var_dump($_POST)--&gt;>array(0) { } <<--var_dump($_POST)

Changing the name of the method inside 'form.php' from 'index' to 'yobro' and calling the class and the method in the 'myform.php' with 'form_open('form/yobro')'. The form shows up in the browser as before - and still no values inside $_POST. Also no values inside $_POST by the above code in the main '/index.php'.

Yes, I would say that I'm using an htaccess to remove index.php from the url. But looking through my original '.htacces', I'm uncertain now where ...
