  • 0

I download CodeIgniter 2.1.0 and I followed the tutorial on CodeIgniter 2.1.0.

The problem is when I try to submit a form in this URL:

http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/create

the page is redirected to this URL:

http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/create

I tired many ways to change the route.php but it doesn’t work. How can I fix this??

route.php

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

This is the code for the form page:

public function create()
{
    $this->load->helper('form');
    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    $data['title'] = 'Create a news item';

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('text', 'text', 'required');

    if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
    {
        $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);   
        $this->load->view('news/create');
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');

    }
    else
    {
        $this->news_model->set_news();
        $this->load->view('news/success');
    }
}

I notice that when the form page when the page is loaded, below code segment will executed, however, the else segment never got changes to execute.

if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
    {
        $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);   
        $this->load->view('news/create');
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');

    }

This is the form page, nothing special, just call the create function shown above.
create.php

<h2>Create a news item</h2>

<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>

<?php echo form_open('news/create') ?>

<label for="title">Title</label> 
<input type="input" name="title" /><br />

<label for="text">Text</label>
<textarea name="text"></textarea><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create news item" /> 

</form>

This is the HTML for the form page:

<html>
<head>
<title>Create a news item - CodeIgniter 2 Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>CodeIgniter 2 tutorial</h1><h2>Create a news item</h2>

<form action="localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/create" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<label for="title">Title</label> 
<input type="input" name="title" /><br />

<label for="text">Text</label>
<textarea name="text"></textarea><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create news item" /> 

</form><strong>&copy;2012</strong>
</body>
</html>

And when I press the create new item button, the URL changed to

http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/news/create

and page shows 404 Pages Not Found

    I found the solution, it caused by the improper base url setting.

    Before my base url was: $config['base_url'] = 'localhost/CodeIgniter';

    Now I changed it to

    $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/CodeIgniter/';

    and it works fine now.

    Thanks for whoever tried to help:)
