I saw this someplace but can't find it, I've been digging around the docs!
When you submit a form, and the page reloads,
How do you keep the previous POST data in the field?

Store it in the session. Or if you mean repopulated form fields, CI has a set_value() function for that.

I may be mistaken but I believe JREAM is asking how to repopulate the form, if this is the case check the set_value function in the form helper.

Okay set_value() might be it.
I might just do set_value() inside the controller via a Session, and unset it if it goes well.

If you need to maintain the POST data across an HTTP redirect, then use Session to preserve the data. Otherwise, forget I mentioned anything about sessions
