I'd like to define my formfields (including html-type and attributes) in my controller and then go through them and output them in a common from view. I have a form view that has always the same structure, only the form and the fields are different.
How can I achieve that? Something with foreach?

You could store all formfields in an array.
Controller:
Code:
$data['fields']['lastname'] = '<input type="text" value="Jones">';
$data['fields']['address'] = '<input type="text" value="Mainstreet">';
$this->load->view("form", $data);Code:
<? foreach ($fields as $field) : ?>
<?= $field; ?>
<? endforeach; ?>XHTML Presentation of froms - El Forum - 02-08-2008

thanks for your reply. That's an idea, but can I combine that with the Validation or Form class? I validate those fields anyway. Of course I can now use the validation process as normal, but is there a way to combine it, to reduce code?

Code:
$data['fields']['lastname'] = '<input type="text" value="Jones">';
$rules['lastname'] = 'required|xss_clean;
$data['fields']['address'] = '<input type="text" value="Mainstreet">';
$rules['address'] = 'required|xss_clean;
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);
$this->load->view("form", $data);If you are interested in setting fields too, I reccomend you set a language file with the same keynames, then do a FOREACH to loop through the rules array_keys() and grab the lang from the file and chuck it in a $fields array.

Thanks, that's a great idea.

I have difficulties imagining how to proceed exactly, do you have a small piece of code on how to make that exactly?

ok, this is the way i am doing my form now. What do you think about it?
Controller
Code:
$data['headline'] = $this->lang->line('centers_add');
$data['action_url'] = 'centers/add';
$data['reset_url'] = 'centers';
$data['fields'] =& $fields;
$data['submit_val'] = $this->lang->line('add');
$fields['place'] = 'text';
$fields['address'] = 'text';
$fields['postcode'] = 'text';
$fields['city'] = 'text';
$fields['phone'] = 'text';
$fields['web'] = 'text';
$basic_rule = "htmlspecialchars|trim|required|min_length[2]";
$rules['name'] = "max_length[1]";
$rules['place'] = $rules['address'] = $rules['city'] = $basic_rule;
$rules['county'] = $rules['phone'] = $basic_rule;
$rules['postcode'] = $basic_rule."|numeric|max_length[5]";
$rules['web'] = "htmlspecialchars|trim|min_length[2]";
$this->validation->set_fields($fields);
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);
$this->validation->set_message('required', $this->lang->line('short'));
$this->validation->set_message('min_length', $this->lang->line('short'));
$this->validation->set_message('max_length', $this->lang->line('long'));
$this->validation->set_message('numeric', $this->lang->line('numeric'));View
Code:
<form action="<?=base_url().$action_url?>" id="form" method="post">
<fieldset>
<?php foreach($fields as $field => $type): ?>
<?php $field_error = $field."_error"; ?>
<label><?=$this->lang->line($field)?> <span class="error"><?=$this->validation->$field_error?></span></label><br />
<?php switch($type):
default: ?>
<?php break; ?>
<?php case 'text': ?>
<input type="text" name="<?=$field?>" value="<?=$this->validation->$field ?>" /><br />
<?php break; ?>
<?php case 'textarea': ?>
<textarea name="<?=$field?>"><?=$this->validation->$field ?></textarea><br />
<?php endswitch ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<br />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="<?=$submit_val?>" />
</fieldset>
</form>
