Codeigniter Form validation Run at page load - codeigniter

Question

Hi i have a problem with form validation on this function it run false at PAGELOAD what did i do wrong?
i use stencil template
install codeiginiter in sub-folder after wordpress website
public function create() {
$this->stencil->title('Tour');
$this->stencil->layout('booktour_layout');
$this->stencil->css('font-awesome');
$this->stencil->paint('booktour_create');
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
echo "<script>alert('error');</script>";
}
else
{
echo "<script>alert('success');</script>";
}
}
When i load the page it echo script at pageload not the submit form
Any though? Thank you

Answer 1

put your code in isset function that mean it will not work without submit form.
please change the index with any of our input name
if(isset($_POST['index'])) {
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
echo "<script>alert('error');</script>";
}
else
{
echo "<script>alert('success');</script>";
}
}

Answer 2

First check whether the POST is requested by using if(isset($_POST)){<Your Validation Code;>} OR if(!empty($this->input->post())){<Your Validation Code;>}
Hope this will help you in solving your problem

As I remember, default result for validation is false. And only when values pass thru rules it sets to true. So while there is no rules, you will receive false.
Let me explain more. Write a controller:
$this->load->library('form_validation');
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) { echo "<script>alert('error');</script>"; }
else { echo "<script>alert('success');</script>"; }
and call it without query. You will receive error. It means that you shoud check that query is present and add at least one rule before calling validation
