How to remove the action attribute in the form_open_multipart() in Codeigniter?

Question

Is there a way that I can remove the action attribute in CodeIgniter?

The code would normally be like this:

form_open_multipart(\'person/add\', $attribut         


        

Answer 1

Sure you can but consider:

1) The action attribute has a meaning and a function, don't know why you want it out

2) You can always pass it an empty string :

  <?php echo form_open('');?>

or <?php echo form_open_multiaction('');?>

gives:

  <form action="" method="post">

In case you're really sure about this, just open up the form_helper.php file, located in system/helpers/form_helper.php.

Pick lines 59 - 65 :

$action OR $action = $CI->config->site_url($CI->uri->uri_string());
$form = '<form action="'.$action.'"';
$form .= _attributes_to_string($attributes, TRUE);
$form .= '>';

and change line 60 to

$form = '<form ';

form_open_multiaction() just picks the form_open() and adds the enctype attribute, so you change form_open() and you're set.
It's up to you now, I still fail to see why an empty action won't suffice to your goals.
