Hi ,
Im new to codeigniter and this is my first post.
This is part of my code.
Code:
<td>Brand Name <?=$brand_name?>
<input type="text" name="txf_brand" id="txf_brand" value="<?php echo set_value('txf_brand', $brand_name); ?>" /></td>Basically , i want to display the value passed from controller in a text field. Im setting the value for this ($brand_name) variable in the Controller. The correct value is displayed near "Brand Name". But not inside the set_value method. This is strange .. can anyone pls help me.
Thanks

Hi,
set_value() is part of form validation.
If your value comes from controller, just use:
$brand_name;
Once your form has been processed and in case there are errors in the form, then you can use set_value('value_name') which will be 're-filled' on page reload.
Read the form validation in user manual.
Cheers,
Smilie

Hi ,
Thanks. Your first line solved the problem :o)
It worked after loading the "form_validation" library. But still i don't understand why it didn't work even though i have loaded the "form" helper.
Form Helper has "set_value()" method, right ? i read the doc.
