set_value() usage - neuron - 12-29-2016
Hi,
I use set_value() to recover form info on form_validation fail, but I also want to use set_value() in form to edit info, I want put info which I get from database in that form and then user will edit it.
in here https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/helpers/form_helper.html it writes that set_value will look into $_POST variable. I set $_POST['title'] = "edit form" in my controller. but it does not show in view when I uset set_value('title');

Use the second parameter `$default` like `set_value('title', 'edit form')`.
