I have a view (formView.php) that displays a form that is processed by a function (formProcessor()) in a controller (viewController.php). Shouldn't my form_open point to viewController/formProcessor? I get my 404 page when I submit (no pun intended). Is this happening because config/routes defaults to a view URL (and there is no view with the same name as the controller)? If so, can I not call the function with form_open?

i will try to help in that
in your view

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('your_controller_file_name'); ?&gt;

and in the controller
you can put the code in the index example

Code:
class Controller_name extends CI_Controller {

 function index()

 {

  $this->load->model('your_model');

  $this->xtransfer->insert_trans() ;

  $this->load->view('your_View',$data);

 }

I hope that help you

SamoualSys: You seem to be telling me to try to use index() instead of my own function. That does not solve the problem but thanks for trying, anyway.

If you're getting a 404 error, it's most likely you didn't set the form action properly. Maybe a typo or some sort.

Also not a good idea to camelCase your controller names / method names.

viewController is not the same as viewcontroller.

Post your code for more help though

I have these lines in config/routes.php:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';

$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

In a controller called myController.php I have:

Code:
&lt;?php

class myController extends Controller {

    function myFormFunction() {

        $test = $this -> _myFormFunction();

        }

        private function _myFormFunction() {

            $this->load->library('form_validation');

            if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {

                $this->load->view('myView');

            }

            else {

                $user = $this->input->post('myView');

                $this->load->view('myView', "");

            }

        }

    }

?&gt;

And in a view called myView.php I have:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html lang="en"&gt;

    &lt;head&gt;

        &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt;

        &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title>

    &lt;/head&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

    &lt;?php

        //$this->load->helper('form');

        echo form_open('myController/myFormFunction');

        echo form_input('username', 'johndoe');

        echo form_submit('userSubmit', 'Go');

        echo form_close();

    ?&gt;

        Some text...

    &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I have a bigger problem now, though. I was using WebMatrix as my IDE and I installed a trial of PhpED. Now when I test my php files, only the html before the php is rendered.

Fixed the php processing problem...

The reason you are seeing a 404 is because of your routes. Specifically:

Code:
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';

This will match anything, literally, anything! When you request yoursite.com/index.php/myController/myFunction it will be transformed to yoursite.com/index.php/pages/view/myController/myFunction because that route matches.

In plain english you are saying 'take any URI request that doesn't satisfy my default controller and prefix it with pages/view/'. That's bad in your case.

Change that route to something more sensible and your problem should be fixed.

Thank you, Denzel. I'm just starting out and trying to wrap my head around CI. Tough to pin down problem causes.

No problem. Trust me I know exactly how you feel. :-) After a while you will get the hang of it. Not to mention, you took a step in the right direction by coming to the forum for help.

Good luck with the rest of your endeavors.
