Submitting form values to controller

Question

This should be something really simple but I just can\'t get it.

I\'m learning codeigniter and I have a form with following code

Answer 1

Send your values to a function in your controller

in your controller, make a function called "save_userinput":

input->post();
      // or just the username:
      $username = $this->input->post("username");

      // then do whatever you want with it :)

    }
}
?>

Hope that helps. Make sure to check out the CI documentation, it's really good. Any more questions, just ask :)

EDIT: Figured it out. Use this opening form tag instead:

I'm used to not having the index.php there, I remove it by using a .htaccess file (like this one), so I overlooked that. It works here with that small edit in the action attribute.

Alternatively, you could use the form helper:

Load it in your controller by using this->load->helper('form') and then use this instead of the HTML tag:
