Guys-

So.. I'm building a widget of sorts that takes some input from a URL (which is not included in the validation), validates a field, and then ideally does some processing and shows success if, ya know, successful. But I fear I'm doing something dumb with the form stuff, as I never get to the "process" part of the equation.

Here's a snip from my controller:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Form extends Controller 

{

    function _remap($serviceKey)

    {

        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

        $this->load->library('form_validation');

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('mobileNumber', 'Mobile number', 'required|min_length[10]|max_length[11]|trim|xss_clean');

        if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

        {

            $this->load->view('standalone');

        }

        else

        {

            echo "Validation Success";

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

And my form view:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;Subscribe Here&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h3>You've Reached the Standalone Subscribe Widget display!</h3>

    &lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;

    &lt;?php echo form_open('form'); ?&gt;

    &lt;input id="mobileNumber" type="text" value=""&gt;&lt;/input>

    &lt;input type="submit"/&gt;

    &lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

And the link I'd like to use to REACH said form is:

http://www.blah.com/index.php/form/8difj...52FjcKu98e

Where the long string is a hash I need to process how the form should act if validation is successful.

Anyway, everytime I "submit" it just dumps me back to the form itself, I never see my "validation success" echo!

Boooo!

Any ideas?

I think this:
<input id="mobileNumber" type="text" value=""></input>

should be
<input name="mobileNumber" id="mobileNumber" type="text" value=""></input>

your code looks good! except your I believe echo is being 'overwritten'

to test this replace your echo with
redirect('somecontroller');
or redirect to another function...
