Validation Class [SOLVED] - El Forum - 08-06-2008

Hey guys,
I wanted some advice re the validation class...
We have a CRUD setup, and it works great for the create, but update seems to be a bit of an issue, i want to use the same view for the update when its first viewed and after the post, in the create view i have:
<?php echo $this->validation->price_rrp;?> in the value element of the input fields
but if i do this in the update section, how can i get the initial data in those elements, i need some way of setting the data initially
Do i make sense????

Ok so i figured this one out, i done some digging in the validation class and noticed it used $_POST to find items and set data etc.
So basically in my controller i have:
Code:
//Set validation data from the Model
$this->validation->set_rules($this->product->rules);
$this->validation->set_fields($this->product->fields);
$this->validation->set_error_delimiters('<li>', '</li>');
if($this->input->post('save')){
//The form has been submitted
$this->validation->run();
}else{
//The form has NOT been submitted
//Fill $_POST with data from the database
$_POST = $this->product->find('array');
$this->validation->run();
}In my model Product i have the array of rules, fields and i have created the find function and it has a switch for the data returned, array will return an array blank will return an object...
Hope this helps someone
