How to keep Html file and its php file in Codeigniter?

Question

I am very new to PHP , but i want to show a html page and handle it with and .php file in codeigniter, How can i do it. Example could be like this : http://www.w3schools.com/php/showphp.asp?filename=demo_form_post

I tried to do the same but in controller if i try to run the html file it works fine but as i click on submit and try to fetch values it give my errors.

i do: 1. Made 2 file in view namely: Test.html and Test_Values.php in Test.html i keep : the code as mentioned in w3 link and in Test_Value.php I wrote the logic.

2.In controller i calls : $this->load->view("Test.html"); it shows me my html page but as i click on the submit button it says 404 page not found.

Please help me. What am i doing wrong??

Better to use codeigniter.com/docs and look at form helper codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/form_helper.html and form validation codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/index.html — user4419336

Views should be in .php codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/views.html and controllers codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html — user4419336

Firstly you will have to put your logic in a function in your controller and not a separate .php file. e.g:

class Yourcontrollername extends CI_Controller{
    ...

    function form_processor(){...}

}

Then You are supposed to give the address and the name of the function which is going to process the form you sumbitted in the action attribute of your form! e.g:

<form action="yourControllerName/form_processor" method="post">

Finally, you really need to have to study the Codeigniter Manual
