Kohana input test
I have been busy with making a kohana application and lately I stumbled upon a nasty bug if you don’t know.
What I did was this:
if($this->input->post(‘submit’))
When the form wasn’t send this gave a nasty bug, invisible in production time but still nasty. So I tried this:
if(isset($this->input->post(‘submit’)))
But that gave me a fatal error. Can’t use a function in write context, or something alike. What it meant was that you can only use normal variables in the function isset. Something I didn’t know.
I found the clever but also so simple solution in the Kohana documentation:
if($this->input->post(‘submit’, false))
You give the function the default value of false and all is fine. I think this might help others facing the same problem.
