I have encountered a problem.

when i implement the following controller

Code:
&lt;?php

class Customertype extends Controller {

    function index()

    {

        echo 'Hello World!';

    }

    function customertype_add()

    {

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

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

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('customer_type', 'Customer Type', 'required');

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

        {

            $this->load->view('admin/customertype_add');

        }

        else

        {

               $this->load->model('Customertype_class','',TRUE);  // TRUE autoconnects model to database

                $this->Customertype_class->add_customertype();

               $this->load->view('admin/customertype_added');

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

and i have this form to submit to the controller

Code:
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_open('form'); ?&gt;

  <p>&nbsp;</p>

  <p>Customer Type: 

    &lt;input type="text" name="customer_type" /&gt;

  </p>

  <p>

    &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;

  </p>

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I get the following error when i run the form

Quote:localhost/xxxx/index.php/form.html

404 Page Not Found

The page you requested was not found.

The controller is in admin folder controllers/admin/customertype.php

The view is in the view folder views/admin/customertype_add.php

I then access the controller at

Quote:localhost/xxxx/index.php?admin/customertype/customertype_add

But when i click "submit", it brings up the url

Quote: localhost/xxxx/index.php/form.html

and then the error message "Not Found"

What's the cause of this?

As per the manual: the open_form() helper has the URI of your page as parameter. In your example, you use 'form', which correctly translates to 'index.php?form.html'.

In this case, you should probably use open_form('admin/customertype'), which is the controller you want to load.
