Help needed - Jquery remote validate plugin and CI

[eluser]jahDsign[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

I have been stuck for some time on this problem and cannot really find a solution anywhere, so I have decided to go ahead and post it on this forum.

I am using the validate plugin from Jquery for a user registration and came across this problem:

here is an extract of my code -

model:

Code:

function check_exist_($Uemail)
  {
    $query_str = 'SELECT Uemail FROM users WHERE Uemail = ?';        
    $result = $this->db->query($query_str, $Uemail);
    
    //email exists
    if($result->num_rows() > 0)
    //email is not unique    
      return false;    
    else  
    //email is unique                        
      return true;    
  }

controller:

Code:

function JQ_unique_Uemail()
  {            
    $Uemail = $this->input->post('register_Uemail');
    if($this->User_model->check_exist_($Uemail))
      echo 'true';
    else    
      echo 'false';
  }

view:

Code:

<input id="register_Uemail" type="text" name="register_Uemail" value="<?php echo set_value('register_Uemail'); ?>" class="required email" />

$('#registerForm').validate({rules:{register_UconfirmPassword:{equalTo: '#register_Upassword'},register_Uemail:{remote:{url:"<?php echo $base_url.'pages/JQ_unique_Uemail'; ?>",type:'POST'}}},
                                   messages:{register_UconfirmPassword:{equalTo:'The passwords you have entered do not match.'},register_Uemail:{remote:'This email is already registered.'}}});

please note I have stripped out all unrelated information to my probelm...

So, the odd thing is when I view my page on my local server, it works perfectly: if the email is not registered in the DB, it is all good, and if the email is already registered, it shows up the error message dynamically.

Now, when I upload this code to my production server, it keeps coming up with the error message on Firefox, but in IE it actually crashes the javascript when I type anything on that input.

I have looked at the net stream in Firefox with Firebug, and when I type something in the email input, net stream shows the function being called (mysite/index.php/pages/JQ_unique_Uemail) but the status says "500 Internal Server Error"...

No idea where that could be comming from!

Has anyone ever come across this before?

Thank you very much,

Antoine.

Hi noctrum,

thank you for your answer...

apache error log doesn't say much I am afraid...

It says this, which I don't think is related:

Code:

[Thu Sep 23 15:07:55 2010] [error] [client 212.124.236.1] File does not exist: /home/jahdsign/public_html/404.shtml
[Thu Sep 23 15:07:55 2010] [error] [client 212.124.236.1] File does not exist: /home/jahdsign/public_html/favicon.ico

Thanks,

Antoine.
