Well.. Finally getting into the CI-swing-of-things but for some odd reason I can't get my form_open() (or any other form helpers) to work.

This is a sample project so nothing complex Smile

Here's the View:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;&lt;?=$title?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body id="&lt;?=$css['css_body_id'];?&gt;"&gt;

  <h1>&lt;?=$heading?&gt;</h1>

  &lt;?php form_open('control/auth'); ?&gt;

  &lt;?php form_input('Login'); ?&gt;

  &lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

And the controller...

Code:
&lt;?php 

if (! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access');

class Control extends Controller {

    function __construct() {

        parent::Controller();

        // Added to Autoload array

        // $this->load->helper('url');

        // $this->load->helper('form');

    }

    function index() {

        // Display Variables

        $data["title"] = "Login Screen";

        $data["heading"] = "Please Login!";

        $data["css"] = array( 

                                'css_body_id' => 'body_login'

                            );

        $this->load->view('login', $data);

    }

}

/* End of file Start.php */

What is the error?

Maybe you must include base_url()?

Code:
&lt;?php form_open(base_url().'control/auth'); ?&gt;

&lt;?php form_input('Login'); ?&gt;

&lt;?php form_close(); ?&gt;

That's just it - there is NO error!

If there was, actually that'd be helpful. The page resolves just fine by the form functions aren't being executed.

I doubt I need to put in the base URL. It's already been entered in config and the classes/views are resolving just fine.

What's super weird about this is that just yesterday I followed the "Blog" tutorial on CI and it worked just fine. I doing this - I pretty much retraced my steps.

You need to echo the form_* functions.

I.e. Change

Code:
&lt;?php form_open('control/auth'); ?&gt;

  &lt;?php form_input('Login'); ?&gt;

to

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('control/auth'); ?&gt;

  &lt;?php echo form_input('Login'); ?&gt;

or

Code:
&lt;?=form_open('control/auth'); ?&gt;

  &lt;?=form_input('Login'); ?&gt;

I just went (back) to check the user guide -

It's official: I'm blind!

Thanks for pointing out the error man...
