If you're using the form helpers like set_value() to repopulate your form, they default to the POST array only. You'd have to create your own functions, or pull from the GET array directly using $this->input->get() (and appropriate security checks).

Damn, that's bad. Isn't there a way to fill the post array manually with everything from the get array so that the form helper methods still can be used?

OK, I think I will use last parameter of the former helper methods which let you select the default value.

There's no point in using set_value() if you're only going to use the default value portion of it. Just check $this->input->value(), sanitize it, then pass it to your view, and echo it out.
