Form Confusion, How to Properly Display Form Errors? - El Forum - 02-17-2008
[eluser]Chris.Campbell[/eluser]
Could someone please show me a code example of how to properly display form errors with CodeIgniter, yet keeping the already entered form data intact. I am able to accomplish this without the framework, using an error array, a foreach loop, counter, and having some post defaults. How would one go about this using CI? Thanks!

Code:
<?= $this->validation->error_string; ?>
<?= form_open('user/login'); ?>
<input type="text" name="username" value="<?= $this->validation->username; ?>" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
<?= form_close(); ?>Form Confusion, How to Properly Display Form Errors? - El Forum - 02-17-2008

Ok first can you explain the $this->validation->error_string part more, and how I would go about populating that with data.
Also, I am using the template parser.

Read the user guide, specifically the notes for the validation class, if you're still confused ask again.

I managed to do this just by using the code from the user guide, so try that out first.
