Code:

if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
       // put your form view here
      
      }else{
      
        $this->siteModel->addEnquiry();
      
      }

You forget to load your view to validate all fields, try to load your form view there...

Hes loading his view but in the wrong place!

Code:

function contact(){
      $data['mainContent'] = 'contact';
      
      $this->load->library('form_validation');
      $this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required');
      $this->form_validation->set_rules('subject', 'Subject', 'trim|required');
      $this->form_validation->set_rules('tel', 'Phone', 'trim|required');
      $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
  
      if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
        
         $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);

      }else{
        
        $this->siteModel->addEnquiry();
        
        $this->load->view('Success', $data);
      }

And next time please use the CODE TAGS! Like I showed you above.

If you can not do that then use POST REPLY which will give you a complete editor for this!

I do not like going through others code and changing all the wrong ''
