trying to understand form_validation

[eluser]rabidmacine9[/eluser]
this is becoming more and more difficult... I'm trying what you suggest and it doesn't seem to work...
there is also another side effect when that runs:

Code:

if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
    $this->load->view('comment_view'); //renders page
}

the content of the page is displayed twice,
thats why I was using this code in my first post:

Code:

if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)
        {    
        
           $this->db->insert('comments', $_POST);
      
           redirect('myBlog/comments/'.$entry_id);
          // $this->comment_insert();
            $this->load->view('myBlog/comments/'.$entry_id);
        }

it saves the trouble of repeating itself...
but the main problem is that it still wont do any addition to the database...it will redisplay the page with no changes
