Problem with Form Validation and Htaccess file

You do not need these anymore, they were for the old versions of CodeIgniter!

Code:

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    
    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

CodeIgniter now has .htaccess files in all the directories to protect them.

I would also autoload the url_help in ./application/config/autoload.php
Being as it is almost always used through out the application.

Also you are not giving a name to your submit input!
