php - Codeigniter form_open 404 -

after searching hours still don't why 404 error when form_submit.

my controller looks this:

class pages extends ci_controller{  function view($page = 'home'){      $this->load->helper('url');     if(!file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php')){         show_404();     }      $data['title'] = $page;     $this->load->view('templates/view',$data); }  public function login_validation(){  } 

the view page:

<?php echo form_open('pages/login_validation');  echo form_input(array( 'name' => 'firstname', 'placeholder' => 'voornaam', 'class' => 'form-control input-lg', 'tapindex' => '1' ));  echo form_submit(array( 'name' => 'login_submit', 'value' => 'register', 'class' => 'btn btn-primary' ));?> 

.htaccess (in root folder):

rewriteengine on rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond $1 !^(index\.php|indexcp\.php?|resources|robots\.txt) rewriterule ^([a-za-z0-9_/.-]+)$ index.php?/$1 

i have line in autoload.php:

$autoload['helper'] = array('form','url'); 

in config.php:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/'; $config['index_page'] = ''; 

routes.php:

$route['(:any)'] = "pages/view/$1"; $route['default_controller'] = "pages/view"; $route['404_override'] = ''; 

what wrong configuration?

the problem having following route (i assuming you've posted whole of routes file):

$route['(:any)'] = "pages/view/$1"; 

this means file load going go pages controller, call function view, , pass in parameter $1. in case, it's going pass through either 'pages/login_validation' or 'login_validation' (i'm not 100% sure which, , can't test @ moment.

your view function checking see if file 'application/view/pages/login_validation.php' or 'application/view/pages/pages/login_validation.php' exists, , when can't find it, giving 404 page.

to fix this, can add following routes.php file (above $route[(:any)] = 'pages/view/$1'; line):

$route['pages/login_validation'] = 'pages/login_validation'; 

that explicitly check page wanting loaded login_validation one, , call function within pages controller.

if don't want keep adding routes each time, modify view function in pages check if $page variable matches name of function, , if call function:

if (function_exists($page)) {     $page(); } 

the trouble might have won't able pass through additional parameters given page. might accidentally name page same function in php, , try , call instead of loading page intend.
