Problem with sending form data by Query string

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,

I have form which is having one text field, named by CompanyName. when I submit the form it submitting as query string (form method is GET )as i want. The following is sample URL for that : http://localhost/index.php/Companysearch...me=Darwish

I'm trying to get CompanyName within my result function as follows:

Code:

function result(){
  if(isset($_GET['CompanyName'])){
    $comName = $_GET['CompanyName'];
  }
  echo $comName;
}

My problem is that, it says $comName is undefined variable. Is there any wrong in my code?.
or can't we use like above?

Please guide me how to sort out this

first you check with following

echo $_GET['CompanyName'];

if result is Darwish.......
use below code

function result()
{

$var = $_GET['CompanyName'];

if(isset($var))
{
$comName = $_GET['CompanyName'];
}
echo $comName;
}


else $_GET is not retreiving any data

$_GET won't work in CI. You will have to use POST.

Or change

Code:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

to

Code:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

in config.php to enable query strings.

better to use post method as below

$this->input->post('fieldname',TRUE)


or get method as below


$this->input->get('fieldname',true)
