So before i start i wana say i am modifying the code of an existing app, So here's the deal i have a page that has at least 3 form(the number varies based on the data present), and they all call different controller method, but where im stuck at is that when there is an error on one of the forms, it displays it on another form Ill post code and more details on code below:
So here's my entire controller method (business.php)
class business extends MX_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->auth->check_access('Admin', true);
$this->load->model("business_model");
$this->load->model("invoice_model");
$this->load->model("setting_model");
$this->load->model("custom_field_model");
$this->load->library('form_validation');
}
function index() {
$data['businesses'] = $this->business_model->get_all_businesses();
$data['fields'] = $this->custom_field_model->get_custom_fields(1);
$data['page_title'] = lang('businesses');
$data['body'] = 'business/list';
$this->load->view('template/main', $data);
}
function add() {
if ($this->input->server('REQUEST_METHOD') == 'POST') {
$this->load->helper('string');
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$users = $this->business_model->get_all_businesses();
$this->form_validation->set_message('required', lang('custom_required'));
$this->form_validation->set_message('is_unique', 'This %s already exists.');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('fname', 'First Name', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('lname', "Last Name", 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|valid_email|is_unique[users.email]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact', "Phone Number", 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('address', "Address", 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true) {
$fname = $this->input->post('fname');
$lname = $this->input->post('lname');
$username = strtolower($fname)[0] . strtolower($lname);
$email = $this->input->post('email');
$save['name'] = $fname . " " . $lname;
$save['email'] = $email;
$save['username'] = $username;
$password = random_string('alnum', '8');
$save['password'] = sha1($password);
$save['contact'] = $this->input->post('contact');
$save['address'] = $this->input->post('address');
$save['user_role'] = 1;
$save['user_type'] = "business";
$key = $this->business_model->save($save);
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', lang('doctor_saved'));
echo 1;
} else {
echo '

}
}
}
function edit($id = false) {
if ($this->input->server('REQUEST_METHOD') === 'POST') {
$this->load->library('form_validation');
if($this->input->post('submit') == "update")
{

$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'lang:email', 'trim|valid_email|max_length[128]');
