How would I put a session variable in to a form field value? - El Forum - 01-28-2012

This doesn't work
Code:
value="<? php echo $this->session->userdata('user_first_name') ?>"Also, before it's asked, yes it's a session variable. Would it be easier to pull it from the database?

Set the session variable to a variable in the controller and pass it to the view. Then try echoing it.

You have a space in your php tag, is that a typo? Also you can use $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE); in your controller to view session data. Make sure you initialize the session class $this->load->library('session');
