[solved] POST datas not found

Hi. I created a view file with a form and I want to send all datas to a controller. I use $this->input->post('NAME', TRUE) to get each data then I check each to see if they are empty. And... all are empty. Why controller don't receive data ? I hope it's a good question. (Have mercy ! )

You need to set the form to post to the controller/method.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I did that. I thought is something with $config['uri_protocol'] ? Or it's something with routes ? (beucase I set my route like
$route['addServer'] = 'home/addServer'; )

And what does your html form look like please show your code for the form and controller method for us to help you.

Controller: 

PHP Code:

public function addserver(){
        // Varibles
        $game = $this->input->post('game');
        $country = $this->input->post('country');
        $ip = $this->input->post('ip');
        $port = $this->input->post('port');
        $qport = $this->input->post('query_port');
        $captcha = $this->input->post('captcha');
        $captchaSession = $this->session->userdata('code');
        // Our error
        $error = "";
        // Let's check
        if($game == 0){
            $error = "Select a game !";
        } elseif($country == 0){
            $error = "Select a country !";
        } elseif(ctype_space($ip)){
            $error = "You must write a DNS / IP Address !";
        } elseif(ctype_space($port) || ctype_space($qport)){
            $error = "You must write Port / Query Port !";
        } elseif(strlen($captcha) != strlen($captchaSession)){
            $error = "Your Captcha is invalid !";
        } else {
            $v = 1;
            for($i=0;$i<=5;$i++){    
                if($captcha[$i]!= $captchaSession[$i]){    
                    $v=0;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if($v == 0){
                $error = "Your Captcha is invalid !";
            } else {
                $error = "Success";
            }
        }
        $this->session->set_flashdata('addMessage', $error);
        redirect(base_url());
    } 


Form:

Code:

<form role="form" action="addserver" method="POST">
                                    <tr>
                                        <td colspan="2"><i class='fa fa-gamepad lblue'></i> Game Type

                                        <td colspan="2"><center><button class="btn btn-success btn-sm btn-block" type="submit" name="query"><i class='fa fa-check'></i> Add this server !</button></td>
                                    </tr>
                                </form>

Did you test whether submitting the form calls the addserver method in your controller?
Usually, in the form declaration you need to include controller AND method, like this:

PHP Code:

<form role="form" action="servers/addserver" method="POST"> 


Assuming that your controller is named "Servers.php".

Put the following code at the top of the addserver method:

PHP Code:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($this->input->post());
echo '</pre>';
die(); 


As soon as you submit the form, the method should output all POST data on your screen.

When I do this, I get that array... I don't know what could be wrong. I did this before 2-3 times and works fine. Maybe reinstall Codeigniter ?

If you get the POST array (with values), nothing is wrong, and you are good to go. Now you can save the data into a table in your database.

I know I know. But my problem is really strange. If I print only $game for example (check before posts), it prints good , but if I make : if($game == 0){ $error = "ERROR"; } my site returns that error even if $game is CS (for example). What is wrong with this ?

EDIT: Solved. There was an error with session, because I wrote sesion and I compared integer with string. (I'm dumb)
