CodeIgniter not submitting form values to database

Question

Setting the "method" attribute of form fixed this for me, everything is submitting to the database fine, now, I have a similar problem with my validating credentials but maybe it has the same root as this problem since I forgot about method in the first place, thank you all very much.

I have a problem while attempting to learn CodeIgniter and general MVC principles.

I have a sign up form view

<div class="container">
<form class="form-horizontal" style="width:500px;" action="sign_up">
<fieldset>

<!-- Form Name -->
<legend>Sign Up</legend>

<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="username">Username</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="username" name="username" placeholder="Username" class="input-xlarge" required="" type="text">
    <p class="help-block">Your username</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="email_address">Email</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="email_address" name="email_address" placeholder="Email address " class="input-xlarge" required="" type="text">
    <p class="help-block">Enter your email address</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="first_name">First Name</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="first_name" name="first_name" placeholder="First name" class="input-xlarge" required="" type="text">
    <p class="help-block">Enter your first name</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="last_name">Last Name</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="last_name" name="last_name" placeholder="Last name" class="input-xlarge" type="text">
    <p class="help-block">help</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Password input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="password">Password Input</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" class="input-xlarge" required="" type="password">
    <p class="help-block">help</p>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="password">Password Confirmation</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input id="password2" name="password2" placeholder="Password" class="input-xlarge" required="" type="password">
    <p class="help-block">help</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Button -->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="singlebutton"></label>
  <div class="controls">
    <button class="btn btn-success" onclick="submit" >Sign Up</button>
  </div>
</div>

</fieldset>
</form>
</div>

Which submits to (user/)sign_up

public function sign_up() {

     $this->load->model('login_model');
        if($query = $this->login_model->create_member()){
            $data['main_content'] = 'user_login_view';
            $this->load->view('template', $data);
            }

    }

And passes to the model function "create_member"

function create_member()
    {
        $newdata = array(
            'user_name' => $this->input->post('username'),
            'password' => md5($this->input->post('password')),
            'email' => $this->input->post('email_address'),
            'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
            'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name') 
            );

        $insert = $this->db->insert('users', $newdata);
        return $insert;
    }

I believe I have the correct table set up and I am following the MVC principle.

id  int(11)         
user_name   varchar(25)         
password    varchar(32)         
email   varchar(50)         
first_name  varchar(32)         
last_name   varchar(32)

My problem is the password is the only value that is passing over into the database for the rest it simply submits 0, any suggestions or obvious mistakes to point out?

ID      user_name   password                        email first_name last_name
20      0       d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e    0   0   0

Thank you

你的帖子变量上的var_dump，你没有得到任何帖子变量，你认为你获得密码的唯一原因是因为你在一个空字符串上运行md5。

I would suggest you change your form open tag to explicitly call the controller, and you need to include a method="post" attribute to get the form to post. Eg

<form class="form-horizontal" style="width:500px;" action="/user/sign_up" method="post">

If you wanted to use CI's form helper, you could use the following:

$attributes = array('class' => 'form-horizontal', 'style' => 'width:500px;');

echo form_open('user/sign_up', $attributes);
