by Sajith M.RA small tip for codeigniter programmers.
If you use same controller for display view page and take action on POST, there is a problem may happen when you try to refresh the page after submit, the whole data get re-submit and creates problem.
It can be solved using session. If there is any POST form submit,
ie
if (count($_POST) > 0)
{
$this->session->set_userdata('post_data', $_POST );
redirect('same_controller');
}
else
{
if($this->session->userdata('post_data'))
{
$_POST = $this->session->userdata('post_data');
$this->session->unset_userdata('post_data');
}
}
This will solve the problem of resubmit !!!
Or simply you can use another controller for POST method and separate the form display using another controller (Normal way)
Thank you! I struggled with what to do about this for well over an hour.
No need to use another controller for POST method.
USE same controller with some method like..
———–your_controller———–
index(){
//YOUR controller DATA
}
save(){
//GET YOUR POST DATA HERE
//SAVE YOUR POST DATA
redirect(‘your_controller’);
}
