Pre-populate update form with data from the database

Hi,

See the note here

So you need to pass your first mane as a default value like this:

PHP Code:

<?php echo form_input('first_name', '', [
           'type'  => 'text',
           'id'    => 'first_name',
           'class' => 'form-control',
           'value' => set_value($customer->first_name,isset($customer->first_name)?$customer->first_name:''),
           'placeholder' => 'First name',
   ]);
?>

A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. - Plato
