set_value from $_POST array, No Validation - El Forum - 05-29-2009
[eluser]glasses092[/eluser]
Hey guys,
I am trying to set to get my form to re-populate after I click the submit button.
I am not using the validation library.
Basically, what I want to happen is that there is a default value in the 'name' textbox when the page is loaded first, then when a user enters a new value in the textbox and submits the form, this value is remembered...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Code:
function test_validation() {
//Form
$test_form = form_open(current_url());
$test_form .= form_label('Name', 'name') . form_input('name', set_value('name as','default value'));
$test_form .= form_label('Email Address', 'email_address') . form_input('email_address', '[email protected]');
$test_form .= form_submit('submit_btn', 'Submit');
$test_form .=form_close();
echo $test_form;
//Form posted back
if( $this->input->post('submit_btn') ) {
echo 'The form was posted back.<br />';
foreach (($_POST) as $key => $value) {
echo "$key:$value<br />";
set_value($key,$value);
}
}
}Thanks,
Martin

set_value() is usually used in a view, and it accepts two parameters. The field name, and the default value, not a key and a value.

Use the form validation library.
