<p>You now know how you can read data from a database using CodeIgniter, but
|
||
you haven’t written any information to the database yet. In this section
|
||
you’ll expand your news controller and model created earlier to include
|

this functionality.</p>

<div class="section" id="create-a-form">
|

<h2>Create a form<a class="headerlink" href="#create-a-form" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To input data into the database you need to create a form where you can
|
||
input the information to be stored. This means you’ll be needing a form
|
||
with two fields, one for the title and one for the text. You’ll derive
|
||
the slug from our title in the model. Create the new view at
|
||
<em>application/views/news/create.php</em>.</p>

<p>There are only two things here that probably look unfamiliar to you: the
|
||
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">form_open()</span></code> function and the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">validation_errors()</span></code> function.</p>
|
||
<p>The first function is provided by the <a class="reference internal" href="../helpers/form_helper.html"><span class="doc">form
|
||
helper</span></a> and renders the form element and
|
||
adds extra functionality, like adding a hidden <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/security.html"><span class="doc">CSRF prevention
|
||
field</span></a>. The latter is used to report
|
||
errors related to form validation.</p>
|
||
<p>Go back to your news controller. You’re going to do two things here,
|
||
check whether the form was submitted and whether the submitted data
|
||
passed the validation rules. You’ll use the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/form_validation.html"><span class="doc">form
|
||
validation</span></a> library to do this.</p>

||
<p>The code above adds a lot of functionality. The first few lines load the
|
||
form helper and the form validation library. After that, rules for the
|
||
form validation are set. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set_rules()</span></code> method takes three arguments;
|
||
the name of the input field, the name to be used in error messages, and
|
||
the rule. In this case the title and text fields are required.</p>
|
||
<p>CodeIgniter has a powerful form validation library as demonstrated
|
||
above. You can read <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/form_validation.html"><span class="doc">more about this library
|
||
here</span></a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Continuing down, you can see a condition that checks whether the form
|
||
validation ran successfully. If it did not, the form is displayed, if it
|
||
was submitted <strong>and</strong> passed all the rules, the model is called. After
|
||
this, a view is loaded to display a success message. Create a view at
|
||
<em>application/views/news/success.php</em> and write a success message.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="model">
|
||
<h2>Model<a class="headerlink" href="#model" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The only thing that remains is writing a method that writes the data to
|
||
the database. You’ll use the Query Builder class to insert the
|
||
information and use the input library to get the posted data. Open up
|
||
the model created earlier and add the following:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">set_news</span><span class="p">()</span>

|
||
<p>This new method takes care of inserting the news item into the database.
|
||
The third line contains a new function, url_title(). This function -
|
||
provided by the <a class="reference internal" href="../helpers/url_helper.html"><span class="doc">URL helper</span></a> - strips down
|
||
the string you pass it, replacing all spaces by dashes (-) and makes
|
||
sure everything is in lowercase characters. This leaves you with a nice
|
||
slug, perfect for creating URIs.</p>
|
||
<p>Let’s continue with preparing the record that is going to be inserted
|
||
later, inside the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$data</span></code> array. Each element corresponds with a column in
|
||
the database table created earlier. You might notice a new method here,
|
||
namely the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">post()</span></code> method from the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/input.html"><span class="doc">input
|
||
library</span></a>. This method makes sure the data is
|
||
sanitized, protecting you from nasty attacks from others. The input
|
||
library is loaded by default. At last, you insert our <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$data</span></code> array into
|
||
our database.</p>

||
</div>

||
<div class="section" id="routing">

||
<h2>Routing<a class="headerlink" href="#routing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Before you can start adding news items into your CodeIgniter application
|
||
you have to add an extra rule to <em>config/routes.php</em> file. Make sure your
|
||
file contains the following. This makes sure CodeIgniter sees ‘create’
|
||
as a method instead of a news item’s slug.</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'news/create'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'news/create'</span><span class="p">;</span>
|
||
<span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'news/(:any)'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'news/view/$1'</span><span class="p">;</span>

<p>Now point your browser to your local development environment where you
|
||
installed CodeIgniter and add index.php/news/create to the URL.
|

Congratulations, you just created your first CodeIgniter application!

Add some news and check out the different pages you made.</p>
