<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 a new view at
<strong>app/Views/news/create.php</strong>.</p>

<p>There are probably only two things here that look unfamiliar. The
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">\Config\Services::validation()-&gt;listErrors()</span></code> function is used to report
errors related to form validation. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">csrf_field()</span></code> function creates
a hidden input with a CSRF token that helps protect against some common attacks.</p>
<p>Go back to your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">News</span></code> 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/validation.html"><span class="doc">form
validation</span></a> library to do this.</p>

<p>The code above adds a lot of functionality. First we load the NewsModel.
After that, we check if we deal with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">POST</span></code> request and then
the Controller-provided helper function is used to validate
the $_POST fields. In this case, the title and text fields are required.</p>
<p>CodeIgniter has a powerful validation library as demonstrated
above. You can read <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/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. This
takes care of passing the news item into the model.
This contains a new function <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">url_title()</span></code>. 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>After this, a view is loaded to display a success message. Create a view at
<strong>app/Views/news/success.php</strong> and write a success message.</p>
<p>This could be as simple as:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">News</span> <span class="nx">item</span> <span class="nx">created</span> <span class="nx">successfully</span><span class="o">.</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="model-updating">
<h2>Model Updating<a class="headerlink" href="#model-updating" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The only thing that remains is ensuring that your model is set up
to allow data to be saved properly. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">save()</span></code> method that was
used will determine whether the information should be inserted
or if the row already exists and should be updated, based on the presence
of a primary key. In this case, there is no <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">id</span></code> field passed to it,
so it will insert a new row into it’s table, <strong>news</strong>.</p>
<p>However, by default the insert and update methods in the model will
not actually save any data because it doesn’t know what fields are
safe to be updated. Edit the model to provide it a list of updatable
fields in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$allowedFields</span></code> property.</p>

<p>This new property now contains the fields that we allow to be saved to the
database. Notice that we leave out the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">id</span></code>? That’s because you will almost
never need to do that, since it is an auto-incrementing field in the database.
This helps protect against Mass Assignment Vulnerabilities. If your model is
handling your timestamps, you would also leave those out.</p>

<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 <strong>app/Config/Routes.php</strong> file. Make sure your
file contains the following. This makes sure CodeIgniter sees <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">create</span></code>
as a method instead of a news item’s slug. You can read more about different
routing types <a class="reference internal" href="../incoming/routing.html"><span class="doc">here</span></a>.</p>
