I am following the tutorial:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html
but I get the error 404 when clicking the Submit button. I can't figure out what's wrong.

My controller:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Form extends Controller {

    function Form(){

    parent::Controller();

    $this->load->helper('url');

    $this->load->helper('form');

}

    function index(){

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

        if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

        {

            ($this->load->view('myform');

        }

        else

        {

            $this->load->view('formsuccess');

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

My view for the form:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;Formulär&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php 

echo validation_errors();

echo form_open('form'); 

?&gt;

<h5>Username</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="password" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password Confirm</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="passconf" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Email Address</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="email" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<div>&lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/div>

&lt;!-- &lt;/form&gt; --&gt; 

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

My view for the success message:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;Untitled&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h3>Your form was successfully submitted!</h3>

<p>&lt;?php echo anchor('form', 'Try it again!'); ?&gt;</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

When I change

Code:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

to

Code:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)

the success page appears but when klicking on the link on the page it can't find the page (to the form).

My config:

Code:
$config['base_url']   = "http://webplace/susanne/codeigniter/";

$config['index_page'] = "form.php";

My routes:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "form";

I can't see errors that are defenitely responsible for you problem.
Just 2 questions:

1. Is there a specific reason why your form closing tag is commented out?

2. Why did you changed the config file from

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

to

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "form.php";

Maybe that is why your anchor doesn't work after submitting the form.

$config['index_page'] is the index.php in your root path and not the first
page/ controller you want to be shown. That is defined by "default_controller"
in routes.php -> you allready edited that.

There is no start tag and the form_open() contains closing tag according to http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...elper.html.
The error existed before I commented the closing tag.

When I did the blog tutorial I changed it and it worked so I just figured it was one of those places wich need changeing. But your explanation makes sence.

Right now I have:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /var/www/susanne/codeigniter/system/application/controllers/form.php on line 14
A file I haven't changed... :-S

In that file (your form controller):

Quote:codeigniter/system/application/controllers/form.php

you have a "(" (first character) which makes no sense:

Code:
($this->load->view('myform');

Try to remove and test again. And be sure that your
application/config/config.php file contains:

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

in case you didn't rename "index.php" in your root folder
( .../www/susanne/codeigniter/index.php )

Hope that will solve your problem

hej hej

I think it is called temporary programming blindness :lol:

I have changed the config file AND NOW IT IS WORKING!

THANK YOU!

We all are not save of typos and will never be ...

Nice to hear that your form is working now Smile
