Creating the User Create Page

Here ’ s the create() function for the admin/admins controller:

function create(){

if ($this- > input- > post(‘username’)){

$this- > MAdmins- > addUser();

$this- > session- > set_flashdata(‘message’,’User created’);

redirect(‘admin/admins/index’,’refresh’);

}else{

$data[‘title’] = “Create User”;

$data[‘main’] = ‘admin_admins_create’;

$this- > load- > vars($data);

$this- > load- > view(‘dashboard’);

}

}

There ’ s nothing new or fancy here. Check for POST data. If you see any, use the addUser() function to

add the user. If not, show the admin_admins_create view. Here ’ s that view — a simple form:

< h1 > < ?php echo $title;? > < /h1 >

< ?php

echo form_open(‘admin/admins/edit’);
