[Solved] Remember Selected Option Value If Form Errors - wolfgang1983 - 09-02-2016
Hi, If there are any form validation error that has been triggered I would like to know if there is a way to remember the seleted option value on view so the user does not have to go through the whole list
PHP Code:
<?php
class Add extends MY_Controller {
private $error = array();
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->library('countries');
}
public function index() {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('country', 'Country', 'trim|required|callback_country[country]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('timezone', 'Time Zone', 'trim|required|callback_timezone[timezone]');
$this->form_validation->set_message('required', '<b>{field}</b> must be set!');
// Submits form if true
if ($this->form_validation->run($this) == true) {
}
if (validation_errors() != false) {
$this->error['warning'] = validation_errors('<div class="alert alert-danger">', '</div>');
}
if (isset($this->error['warning'])) {
$data['warning_error'] = $this->error['warning'];
} else {
$data['warning_error'] = '';
}
$data['countries'] = $this->countries->get();
$data['timezones'] = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);
$data['header'] = Modules::run('admin/common/header/index');
$data['footer'] = Modules::run('admin/common/footer/index');
$this->load->view('user/add_view', $data);
}
public function country($str) {
if ($str) {
return true;
} else {
$this->form_validation->set_message('country', '<b>{field}</b> must be set!');
return false;
}
}
public function timezone($str) {
if ($str) {
return true;
} else {
$this->form_validation->set_message('timezone', '<b>{field}</b> must be set!');
return false;
}
}
}
View
Code:
<?php echo $header;?>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12">
<?php echo form_open_multipart('admin/user/add', array('id' => 'form-user_add', 'class' => 'form-horizontal', 'role' => 'form'));?>
<?php echo $warning_error;?>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-12 col-xs-12" for="firstname">Country</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<select name="country" class="form-control" id="country">
<option>-- Please Select --</option>
<?php foreach ($countries as $code => $country) {?>
<option value="<?php echo $code;?>"><?php echo $country;?></option>
<?php }?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-12 col-xs-12" for="firstname">Time Zone</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<select name="timezone" class="form-control" id="timezone">
<option>-- Please Select --</option>
<?php foreach ($timezones as $timezone) {?>
<option value="<?php echo $timezone;?>"><?php echo $timezone;?></option>
<?php }?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="pull-left">
</div>
<div class="pull-right">
<button type="submit" id="form-button" class="btn btn-primary">Create</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo form_close();?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
});
</script>
<?php echo $footer;?>RE: Remember Selected Option Value If Form Errors - wolfgang1983 - 09-02-2016
I have found the solution using set_select()
Code:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-12 col-xs-12" for="firstname">Country</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<select name="country" class="form-control" id="country">
<?php foreach ($countries as $code => $country) {?>
<option value="<?php echo $code;?>" <?php echo set_select('country', $code) ;?>><?php echo $country;?></option>
<?php }?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-12 col-xs-12" for="firstname">Time Zone</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<select name="timezone" class="form-control" id="timezone">
<?php foreach ($timezones as $timezone) {?>
<option value="<?php echo $timezone;?>" <?php echo set_select('timezone', $timezone) ;?>><?php echo $timezone;?></option>
<?php }?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
