the video is very helpful.i learned a lot.

See the codeigniter docs under Class Reference > Form Validation class. In the contents select "Setting Validation Rules" and you'll find a link for exactly this.

also, w.r.t the else case, try including $data="" as the parameter for the contact() function. That way, you can just use $this->contact($data) in the else case.

i'm enjoying your tutorials dude, keep it coming :)

[IUseQsInsteqdOfQs]

Inside the if statement for send_email you can just run the contact method again ($this->contact() ) instead of copy-pasting the code.

I might be missing something, but aren't you creating a site with one super-controller("site.php"), which then calls specific functions which act as the subcontroller that calls the views/model creating different pages? Is that how codeigniter is supposed to work? For a big site, wouldn't that make for a REALLY big "site.php" Instead, would you want to forget the super controller and create a php file called controller_contact.php which then calls the specific function for the contact page. Love your videos but just curious why everything is running thru site.php when that file will get rather large very quickly.

Hi, this is has being a great help but @site.php in send_email function where you validated (|alpha) the name it doesn't work with full name with space like "Steven Wonder" .

Thanks Steven, you are the magic!

Echoing empty string isn't efficient, you shouldve used isset()

[LukeWatts]

Shouldn't you put the load->helper and all such things in your controller. Isn't the whole point of MVC to keep as much logic outside of your view. Model for data, controller for logic and view for UI / client-viewable stuff. The helper doesn't show anything to the user so it would fall under logic, wouldn't it?

The first time contact() is loaded (by going directly to URL site/contact) I get: Call to undefined function validation_errors. Makes sense since form_validation library not loaded in contact(), but if I load there too my set_value in fields do not work. Is this a context issue? Or should it work and I fatfingered the set_value()?
