Update: It is solved ..
For some reason, the data is not getting inserted into the table. It is however being posted from the form as I could see with var dump, but further than that, won’t do. So, here are the 3 modules. It is a very simple test scheme: Just a form with two fields, you press Submit and should be inserted. (I can do all that in ordinary PHP with one page, but, the MVC frameworks are a nightmare in this regard, you write about 30 times more code than you would need in procedural.
<?php
class Inserting_controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('Inserting_model');
}
public function index ()
{
$this->load->view('inserting_view');
}
// Controller
public function insert()
{
$data = array(
'username' => $this->input->post('username', TRUE),
'password' => sha1($this->input->post('password', TRUE)
));
var_dump($data); // We do get the data posted
exit;
$this->Inserting_model->insertdata($data); // this should forward them to the Model
}
}
?>
==============
MODEL
<?php
class Inserting_model extends CI_Model{
function __construct()
{
// Call the Model constructor
parent::__construct();
$this->load->database();
}
public function insertdata($data)
{
$this->db->insert('users', $data);
}
}
?>
========
VIEW
<div id="inserting_form">
<?php echo form_open('index.php/Inserting_controller/insert/'); ?>
<ul>
<li>
<label>Username</label>
<div><?php echo form_input(array('id' => 'username', 'name' => 'username')); ?></div>
</li>
<li>
<label>Password</label>
<div><?php echo form_password(array('id' => 'password', 'name' => 'password')); ?></div>
</li>
<li><?php echo validation_errors();?></li>
<li><?php echo form_submit(array('name' =>'submit'),'Insert');?> </li>
</ul>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
</div>
Blushing :/
On writing the debugging code, I forgot to delete the exit; thus, the program exited right after that ….
