Hi, guys
I am writing my own function for set_value. But I can't figure out why should I look in validation class for function set_value. Isn't value from validation class and from POST the same? Thanks
Code:
* Grabs a value from the POST array for the specified field so you can
* re-populate an input field or textarea. If Form Validation
* is active it retrieves the info from the validation class
function set_value($field = '', $default = '')
{
if (FALSE === ($OBJ =& _get_validation_object()))
{
if ( ! isset($_POST[$field]))
{
return $default;
}
return form_prep($_POST[$field], $field);
}
return form_prep($OBJ->set_value($field, $default), $field);

The values will not be the same if you Prep the Refrence in the Form Vailidation Class read:
