FORM ACTION PROBLEM

[eluser]nasir031[/eluser]
Hi all, I'm nob to codeigniter. My problem is that by clicking the submit button form isn't redirecting the control to provided controller that is, login.

Code:

<form action="login" method="post">
            <label for="log">
                <b>Username: </b>
            </label>
            &lt;input class="field" type="text" name="log" id="log" value="" size="23" /&gt;
            <label for="pwd">
                <b>Password:</b></label>
            &lt;input class="field" type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="23" /&gt;
            &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="" class="button_login" /&gt;
&lt;!--            <a href="Login">Login</a>--&gt;
            &lt;input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="" /&gt;
            &lt;/form&gt;

HERE IS MY CONTROLLER CLASS

Code:

<?php

class Login extends CI_Controller {
    //put your code here
    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    function index(){
        $this->load->view('welcomeForm.php');
    }

    function processForm(){
        $this->load->view('welcomeForm.php');
    }
}
?>

And one other problem that I'm facing is, echo site_url()/ base_url is not accessible in my index.php even though I've auto loaded $autoload['helper'] = array('url');. what is the problem here... I'm unable to get it

You're getting PHP errors somewhere, that's probably what's messing up the HTML markup.

And I don't know what you mean by index.php page - you shouldn't need to add code to the index.php function, and I don't believe you can name a controller file index.php without some sort of conflict / error.

Yes you pointed right I'm getting PHP errors, that's my url helper isn't being auto loaded in autoload.php so, conciquently

Code:

<form action <?php echo site_utl()?>....</form>

the form's action is not working because url helper hasn't yet loaded.
How should I solve this.?
By index.php my mean the front page that is loaded first in CI.

BUNDLE OF THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY

why don't you just use the form helper? and do something like this:

echo form_open('mycontroler/login');

And you don't need nothing more... =)

@nasir
Why are you even trying to mess with the index.php.

The helpers will not have been loaded when index.php is being executed. so base_url() is not gonna work.

What are you exactly trying to do?
