I am trying to get my form to validate, and for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work, I am using "CodeIgniter User Guide Version 1.7.2" and I just can't get it working.

Code is listed, below.

Contact Controller

Code:
&lt;?php 

class Contact extends Controller

{

    function Contact()

    {

        parent::Controller();

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

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

    }

    function index()

    {

        $data['title_for_layout'] = "Website Redesigns | Florida Web Design Company | Last 7 Studios";

        $data['keywords_for_layout'] = "Florida Web Design Company Last 7 Studios";

        $data['description_for_layout'] = "Florida Web Design Company Last 7 Studios";

        $this->load->library('layout', 'layout_main'); 

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required');

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

        {

            $this->layout->view('/contact/contact_view', $data);

        }

        else

        {

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

        }

    }

}

 ?&gt;

Contact View

Code:
<div id="left">

<h1 class="content_title">Contact the Web Design Professionals</h1><br />

<h3 class="content">Web Design, Graphic Design, Print Media, Search Engine Optimization, Logo Design</h3>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><label for="zip">Zip:</label></td>

<td>&lt;input name="zip" id="zip" type="text" value="" /&gt;&lt;/td>

how you submit the form?

Try this one, this is the easy way..

also read the form validation user guid

contact.php controller

Code:
&lt;?php

class Contact extends Controller {

    function index()

    {

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

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

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required');

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required');

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('passconf', 'Password Confirmation', 'required');

        $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required');

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

        {

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

        }

        else

        {

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

        }

    }

}

?&gt;

contact_view.php view file

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;My Form&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

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

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

<h5>Username</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="password" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password Confirm</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="passconf" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Email Address</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="email" value="" size="50" /&gt;

<div>&lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/div>

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

that is the validation system that I am using, and it is not working correctly, and yes I left the submit button off in that code area. It was a mistake on my part, but it is actually there in the live script.

Dude your form is also working. I checked it too. Just change this

form_open('contact-last-7-studios');

with this

form_open('contact');

Because the validation library is loaded in contact controller and in it you set the rules not in contact-last-7-studios.

in form_open you have to enter the action of the form.

Maybe I am doing something wrong then, because I changed that and I can't seem to get that to validate. It acts like there is nothing happening and it just reloads the page.

Does anybody else think it's ironic that someone making a website with this title

Quote: $data['title_for_layout'] = "Website Redesigns | Florida Web Design Company | Last 7 Studios";

can't get a basic form validation to work?
