A question about views and form validation. |
[eluser]kyleect[/eluser]
I'm still very new to MVC and CI and I've come across an issue. Ok, lets say we have... http://domain/form and it has two text inputs, "foo" and "bar". I need to make sure both have text. When you submit the form, it goes to http://domain/form/process My controller is checking to see if the inputs are filled out and lets say "foo" isn't filled out. How do I redirect back to http://domain/form with an error message? What I've been doing is creating a view with the message but this seems extremely sloppy and makes me uncomfortable. I know there has to be a better way of doing this. Should I have that kind of logic in the view? That seems to defeat the purpose. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Have you looked into the Form Validation helper? That's the 'standard' way to do it in CI. |
