Code Validation Errors showing before form submit

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,

Anybody ever have any issues where form validation errors show up immediately when you land on a page via another form submission? In other words, we have one page with a form on it. When you submit that form, it takes you to another page with a form on it, with form validation_errors(), and form validation rules in its controller function. But the validation errors show up immediately, not after you submit THAT form.

On pages with forms that are accessed via an <a > link, this does not occur. Or if I simply reload the page that has the form validation on it in the browser, those form validation errors disappear. It seems to be that they occur only when I get to the page via another form submission...

Does this sound familiar? Not sure I'm wording it properly so that it makes sense.

Thanks,
Jon

You will need to show your code for the form submit and how you get to the next form!

Probably you have some code like this:

Code:

if($_POST)
{
....
}

and got TRUE because the referrer page but difficult to know without your code.

Yeah, somehow I managed to find another forum post that had a similar issue. Just tried an if ($this->input->post('submit')) and it seems to be doing the trick. Guess I'm not clear why I only need to do it on the page that is accessed via another form submit. But Thanks... if I'm still having trouble I'll be sure to post some code.
