Button click problem

[eluser]johnmiller[/eluser]
the below is the code i wrote for search button.

Code:

<form id="search" method="post" action="../search/">
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Search" />
</form>

I have a function named 'search' in the controller (controller name is blog).
I call this function when the page loads because i need to get many values from database to this page (like state, city etc).
my search starts after that.
if i write action="../search/" in my button click, it will generate error.
so i thought of writing another function called do_search

and i wrote

Code:

<form id="search" method="post" action="../do_search/">
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Search" />
</form>

and in the controller i wrote

Code:

function do_search()
    {
        $this->load->view('search');
    }

what i want is...

moving to do_search function, passing the values to model, returning the results, then loading search page with results.

but it gives me error.

how to do that correctly?

Use the absolute path, not relative.

action="/controller/do_search/"

[eluser]johnmiller[/eluser]
but if i use

Code:

action="/blog/do_search/"

(controller name is blog)
in each button click, these details is getting added to my address bar..

for example..
suppose the address bar in the initial stage is

Code:

../blog/search/

if i click the button once, the address bar will be

Code:

../blog/search/blog/do_search/

for the next click it will be

Code:

../blog/search/blog/do_search/blog/do_search/

Something about your config isn't right then.

Using action="/blog/search/do_search" makes your end result technically impossible, unless your action="blog/search/do_search"
