form_dropdown remember values on page refresh - El Forum - 12-15-2011
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I have a form_dropdown that I'm using to sort data. How can I set the selected value to the most recent form selection
Should I use a session to store the data and pass that value? I'm trying to get it via post but it's not working.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Code:
<?php
echo form_open('home');
$options = array(
'popular' => 'Most Popular',
'pricedown' => 'Price: Low to High',
'priceup' => 'Price: High to Low',
'date' => 'Date Ordered',
);
$selected = ($this->input->post('sort')) ? $selected : $selected = 'popular';
echo form_dropdown('sort', $options, $selected, 'onChange="this.form.submit();"');
echo form_close();
?>
