Ok, so i am using codeigniter and tankauth. I want to create a function where a user can ask a question and the question is stored in the databse. Seems simple enough although I seem to be running into issues once i start creating new classes for the controllers, libraries, and models. Here is what i have done so far:
VIEW: welcome.php (this is the first page, the user can go to the ask_question page with the anchor at the end, well when it works).
<?php echo anchor('/ask/ask_question', 'Ask a Question'); ?></br>
VIEW: ask_question.php
Ask a questsion bro!</br>
</br>
<?php
$title = array(
'name' => 'title',
'id' => 'title',
'value' => set_value('title'),
'maxlength' => 750,
'size' => 30,
'style' => 'width: 100px',
);
$body = array(
'name' => 'body',
'id' => 'body',
'value' => set_value('body'),
'maxlength' => 5000,
'size' => 30,
'style' => 'width: 100px',
);
?>
<?php echo form_open('/Ask/ask_question'); ?>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?php echo form_label('Title', $title['id']); ?></td>
<td><?php echo form_input($title); ?></td>
<td style="color: red;"><?php echo form_error($title['name']); ?><?php echo isset($errors[$title['name']])?$errors[$title['name']]:''; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo form_label('Body', $body['id']); ?></td>
<td><?php echo form_input($body); ?></td>
<td style="color: red;"><?php echo form_error($body['name']); ?><?php echo isset($errors[$body['name']])?$errors[$body['name']]:''; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php echo form_submit('ask_question', 'Ask Question'); ?>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
CONTROLLER: ask.php
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

$this->form_validation->set_value('title'),

$data['site_name'] = $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth');
}
else {
$errors = $this->Ask_Question->get_error_message();
foreach ($errors as $k => $v) $data['errors'][$k] = $this->lang->line($v);

return NULL;
}
}
I have done stuff like this before using the already created class no problem. I have not yet created my own classes. I am not sure if i am doing it write (I just copied the way the current classes are set up). So please let me know if I I have any errors or anything. Right now I cannot get my form to show up at all. the page is just blank.
