form_open working strangely

[eluser]Oleg Videnov[/eluser]
Hi guys...


I experience some strange problem...
I tested on localhost and everything was fine,but when I upload the application on the web..
let's say
www.example.com

I am on:

Code:

example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/

and I would like to submit to:

Code:

example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/validate

in the view i have

Code:

echo form_open('/admin/tournament/validate');

but i am redirected to

Code:

example.com/project/admin/tournament/example.com/project/index.php/validate

test.golfpro.co/golf/index.php

the base url is set to

Code:

example.com/project/

What Am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance
Oleg

Just to mention...
if I edit the base url to

Code:

" "

i.e nothing

it works.

but that's totally strange.

So,any ideas or other solutions ?

Take out the forward slash in front of "admin" in the form_open.

hey,thanks but...
if I take out the forward slash in front of 'admin' it redirects me to:

[code]http://example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/validate[code]

Do you have a .htaccess file that could be messing with your urls. When you load the form and do a view source is the "action" pointing to the wrong url "http://example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/example.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/validate"? Or is it just after you submit?

[eluser]Oleg Videnov[/eluser]
it is only after i submit...

that's what i get as rendered HTML

Code:

<form action="website.com/project/index.php/admin/tournament/validate" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">

ok just to clarify

does your base url start with http:// because it should.

I understand you dont want to put the real url but it would really help.

Code:

$config['base_url']= 'http://www.example.com/project/';

[eluser]Oleg Videnov[/eluser]
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
IT WORKS
so,i had to put http:// in the base_url
thanks a lot man

well....one more time for me RTFM (read the f**** manual).


Thanks a lot man !
