Codeigniter form help

[c_pattle]

I have a form in one of my view files and I have a function that handle the form data but how do I get that function to run when the form is submitted? 

 

I tried to use the header function as shown below but that returned an error because the headers had already been sent

 

header("Location: index.php/products/search/" . $_POST['searchCat'] . "/" . $_POST['searchString'] . "/");

 

Does anyone know the best way to access a controller function from a view? 

 

Thanks

Views don't generally access methods from within a controller. Controllers are designed to handle requests, much like what you have attempted.

 

Having said that, I'm sure CodeIgnitor would have it's own methods for redirecting. Iv'e not used CodeIgnitor, I suggest you search the docs for details on a Response object.

dont leave the trailing space in your file. try using

$this->load->helper('url');
redirect(''path/to/redirect"");
