Edit or Updating record Problem

[eluser]sheru[/eluser]
Dear All,
I am learning the codeignter. I am stuck on validation run. When I edit a record it validates false and do nothing.

Code:

if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE){  <--- as this becomes false and runs the code here and as it did not execute else part so id did not update record.
    $data['message'] = '';
}else{

$childrecord= array('name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'gender' => $this->input->post('gender'),
'userfile' => $f,
'dob' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->input->post('dob'))),
'descrip'=>$this->input->post('descrip'),                        
'orgname' => $this->input->post('orgname'),
'district_name' => $this->input->post('district_name'),
'dob_bs' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->input->post('dob_bs'))),
'birthcert'=>$this->input->post('birthcert'),);

}

I am not able to find the problem why $this->validation->run()is FALSE during editing the record. Problem lies there. Editing field includes uploaded image file too. But while adding the record, It has no problem.

Thank you for helping me.

you will need to include the validation rules you have setup and the view file so we can see the form fields that are created

Sometimes it's easier to troubleshoot a problem if you simplify the form.

Start with just two or three fields, validate the inputs and see what's not working.

Dear tonanbarbarian and boldyellow,
I am sorry I became unable to post immediately, By the way, Thank you both for your valuable post and taking some time to help me. I admire you both. Many thanks.

I really don't know what caused it but as I played on set_rules, it took me on success part of $this->validation->run() but did not update the record but as I set the record id as hidden way, it really updated the record as well.

By the way, I am having problem in populating selected database value in dynamic drop-downs. I have used two tables for this drop-down values, one is children table where I store organization_id, but actually having name from partnerorg table which has prgid and partnername fields.

Your help and pointer needed.
