CodeIgniter Registration Form Part 2

This is Part 2 of what will probably end up as at least 3 parts on creating a User Registration form in CodeIgniter. It shows CodeIgniter features such as form validation, form helpers etc.

CodeIgniter can be found at http://www.codeigniter.com

Nice tutorials man! So far I believe I have done everything just like you, but when I try to submit to check if the validator works, I get redirected to 404 - The requested URL /tutorial/user/register/ was not found on this server.

@M4S4HIRO Sounds like you didn't get rid of index.php perhaps? What is the URL of the register page that shows the form? /tutorial/user/register I would guess not.... so you could remove index.php or change the URL for the form POST to /tutorial/index.php/user/regis­ter.

If that's not the problem and the problem is that your URL is literally "/tutorial/user/register" then in the form open line make sure you put base_url() . '/tutorial/user/register'....

Hopefully something here helped?

Can somebody help me?

I've entered the code as shown (changed to parent::controller() to parent::__construct()

Now, the registration page loaded fine, but when I click submit (register) button, I get the error message "object not found". What am I doing wrong?

[M4S4HIRO]

@Verbloten Changing the URL for the form to tutorial/index.php/user/regis­­ter did the trick. Thank you!

@Verbloten English is not my native language, so I looked in a dictionary... That thing with tongue and teeth.

Just to help people that were stuck where I was. ..

This didn't work for me until I dropped the $base_url inside the form_open() function, as I had a base URL set in my config file already. Per the CI documentation, form_open "Creates an opening form tag with a base URL built from your config preferences", so entering it again for me was redundant.

It worked once I wrote it like this: echo form_open('user/register');

Thanks for the tutorials. I'm learning so much!
