i got this text box and a button where i input something in the text box and save it in my database... im using codeigniter so basically im using the model-view-control method... i have this code...

$("#test").click(function(){
    $val = $("#user").val()

    $.ajax({
        url: "system/application/?mclts_c/save_test",
        type: "POST",
        datatype: "html",
        data: "user=$val",
        success: function(html){
         alert(html);
        }
    })
});

im trying to pass the data to my controller and i think its working because its returning an alert box but the problem is whats inside the alert box is "Directory access is forbidden"... i think its because i cant seem to access my controller.. but i cant fix it.. maybe you guys know a solution for this?... please help!..

that pretty much describes your problem. you’re not allowed to access the file you want. if that also happens when you call the URL manually, you need to set the access permissions accordingly.

im sorry but im really new with all of this.. what do you mean by accessing it manually?...

type system/application/?mclts_c/save_test instead of the current file name into the address bar and hit enter.

Modified title to be descriptive; please try to put your problem in as few words as possible in the title. Using a title like "got a problem and i can't fix it.. need help!" is dumb...obviously you have a problem that you can't fix and with which you need help; why else would you be here ASKING a question???

on *NIX you’d use the chmod command, no idea what you’d use on windows.

man this is hard...

You don't want to change the permissions. Codeigniter won't let you access any of the files in the system directory directly, this is by design. Instead you'll need to access it via a url like /mclts_c/save_test (without all the /system/app stuff). If you created a controller with the correct name it should work. If you don't know what I'm talking about watch the intro tutorial on codeigniter.

I just wanted to note that perhaps calling someone "dumb" while trying to build a community learning forum might be the best thing for all of us. Can't we keep it civil? It turns others off, and I'm sure, offended its target. Just because you know more than someone, doesn't make the other person "dumb". Putting a vague title on a post is a rookie maneuver, but a simple explanation as to why would most likely suffice (without offending anyone).
