[newbee] code outputs only html

[quote author="Rokit" date="1209167596"]I did try this <?php function... but still no output.

Form

Code:

<?php $this->validation->error_string; ?>

<?php form_open('form'); ?>
    <b>Titel van dit album</b><br />
    &lt;input type="text" name="titel_album" value="" /&gt;<br /><br />
    &lt;input type="submit" name="toevoegen" value="Album toevoegen" /&gt;
    
&lt;/form&gt;

The controller

class Pictures extends Controller {

function index(){
-
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

$this->load->library('validation');

$rules['titel_album'] = "required";


$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('pictures/addalbum');
}
else
{
$this->load->view('formsuccess');
}

}

}

Html source

Code:

<b>Titel van dit album</b><br />
    &lt;input type="text" name="titel_album" value="" /&gt;<br /><br />
    &lt;input type="submit" name="toevoegen" value="Album toevoegen" /&gt;
    
&lt;/form&gt;

- When i look at the source i see also no form open tags (<form method=...)
- When i submit the form (empty field) i get no error[/quote]

The most likely reason you aren't getting the error string is that your first line of code appears to be missing an "echo".

try:

Code:

<?php echo $this->validation->error_string; ?>

<?php form_open('form'); ?>
    <b>Titel van dit album</b><br />
    &lt;input type="text" name="titel_album" value="" /&gt;<br /><br />
    &lt;input type="submit" name="toevoegen" value="Album toevoegen" /&gt;
    
&lt;/form&gt;

With a bit of luck that might fix your problem, (although it does appear completely unrelated).
