Question about submission form to database

The error that "test view page" displays indicates you have not loaded the "form" helper.

The following line of code is in the example you are working from

PHP Code:

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


It turns out that "form_validation" will load the "form" helper for you.

If you are not using "form_validation" in your test then explicitly load the "form" helper in your controller with this line.

PHP Code:

$this->load->helper('form'); 


Thanks for the info.  Do I replace in my controller

PHP Code:

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


with this below?

PHP Code:

$this->load->helper('form'); 


If you are not using field validation you can (but do not have to) replace library('form_validation') with helper('form'). One or the other must be used.
