So I am validating a form using code igniter which simplifies my code a lot however I am facing a new problem. My form at first gets loaded as a pop up inside a div of view. But when the controller returns response after validation then the form opens as a separate webpage instead of just loading inside the previous div of view.
main_view.php
Controller:
Form-> (add_user.php)
how can I load the form inside the main_view.php after the validation fails from the controller or when the validation is successful, I want the form to close inside the main view page. I can do form validation using normal javascript and php but wanted to learn code igniter method of validation.
Urgently need help, Please.
main_view.php
Code:
<script>
function div_show(type, classID) {
if(type=='adduser')
{
document.getElementById('AddUser_popup').style.display = "block";
$("#AddUser_popup").load("add_user"); // javascript to call the controller which loads the form
}
}
</script>
<body>
<button id="popupNewTerm" onClick="div_show('adduser', null)">Add user</button>
<div class="AddUser_popup" id="AddUser_popup"><!--Upon add User button click form gets loaded in this--> </div>
</body>Controller:
Code:
public function add_user()
{
$data = array();
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->model('user_m');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username','Username', 'required|trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('emp_email','E-mail', 'required|trim|valid-email|xss_clean');
if($this->form_validation->run()==FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('includes/forms/add_user', $data);
}
else {
$data['username']=$this->input->post('username');
$data['emp_email']=$this->input->post('emp_email');
$user=array(
'user_id'=> NULL,
'username'=> $data['username'],
'emp_email'=>$data['emp_email']
);
$this->user_m->insert_user($user);
$this->load->view('includes/forms/add_user', $data);
}
}Form-> (add_user.php)
Code:
<div id="popupContact">
<?php
if(isset($username) && isset($emp_email))
{
echo validation_errors();
echo 'User added successfully!';
}
else {
echo validation_errors();
echo form_open('', 'id="form" name="form"');
echo '<p id="close" onclick ="div_hide()">X</p>';
echo '<h2>Add User</h2>';
echo '<hr>';
echo '<label for="username">Username: </label>'.form_input('username', set_value('username')) .' ';
echo '<label for="emp_email">Email: </label>'.form_input('emp_email', set_value('emp_email')) . '<br><br>';
echo form_submit('submit', 'Submit', 'id="submit"');
echo form_close();
}
?>
</div>how can I load the form inside the main_view.php after the validation fails from the controller or when the validation is successful, I want the form to close inside the main view page. I can do form validation using normal javascript and php but wanted to learn code igniter method of validation.
