set_value() not producing values that are present in $_POST? - El Forum - 05-05-2010

I may be fundamentally misunderstanding something here; I'm very new to CI.
Some test code:
Code:
$form_rules = array(array('field' => 'customer_first_name',
'label' => 'First Name',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_last_name',
'label' => 'Last Name',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_address1',
'label' => 'Address',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_city',
'label' => 'City',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_state',
'label' => 'State',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_zip',
'label' => 'Zip Code',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_phone',
'label' => 'Phone',
'rules' => 'required'),
array('field' => 'customer_email',
'label' => 'Email Address',
'rules' => 'valid_email'));
$this->form_validation->set_rules($form_rules);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';
foreach ($form_rules as $field) {
echo $field['field'] . ': ' . set_value($field['field']) . '<br>';
}So if I fill out only two fields -- first and last name -- I would expect to see those two values appear both in the $_POST dump and in the $form_rules echoes. Instead, the set_value() function does not seem to be producing any values:
Code:
Array
(
[customer_title] => none
[customer_first_name] => William
[customer_last_name] => Dickson
[customer_address1] =>
[customer_address2] =>
[customer_city] =>
[customer_state] => MO
[customer_zip] =>
[customer_phone] =>
[customer_email] =>
[submit] => Continue
)
customer_first_name:
customer_last_name:
customer_address1:
customer_city:
customer_state:
customer_zip:
customer_phone:
customer_email:I had intended to use it like so:
Code:
$field_attributes = array('name' => 'customer_first_name',
'id' => 'customer_first_name',
'maxlength' => '25',
'size' => '25',
'value' => set_value('customer_first_name'));
$this->data['form'] .= form_label('First Name');
$this->data['form'] .= form_input($field_attributes);Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Maybe your not running the checking to do that u need to use: $this->form_validation->run() , in the function that recieves the $_POST, this will check the fields of the $_POST and will return TRUE if everything is ok, if not u can use the set_value() to repopulate ur form.

That was it; I was running it, but not in the right place. Thanks!
