Question

Ive been trying to create a form that save the info in my database… sounds pretty easy but I have messy documentation (or I am not so smart), I just want to send some parameters on my submit, in the other side catch them and save some info at the database….

So, I did this:

in my component/views/myview/tmpl/default.php I wrote this:

<form action="index.php">
<input type="submit" value="test" />
</form>

Then, I went to my file view.html.php on /mycomponent/view/component/view.html and I do this:

$this->get('SaveClient');

and in my model I did this (only for trying):

public function getSaveClient(){

  $query ="
      Insert into client ( `id_client` ,`test`)
      VALUES 
      (NULL , '1')
  ";
  $db = & JFactory::getDBO();
  $db->Execute($query);
}

But still.. doesnt work, any idea how to make it work??

Thanks!

You haven’t defined the table name correctly. It should be #__tablename. Once you have tried this and it still doesn’t work, try using the following code below instead.

public function getSaveClient($test){ 
    $db = JFactory::getDBO();
    $data = new stdClass();
    $data->id_client = null;
    $data->test = $test;
    $db->insertObject( '#__tablename', $data, 'id_client' );  
}
