i am trying to do a wizard to post data in the db in the view


i am trying to record the step data in the sessions

Array ( [name] => projectName [id] => projectName [value] => [maxlength] => 45 [size] => 45 [placeholder] => Project name [class] => validate['required'] )

'value' => set_value('projectName'),

but this value its always empty

<form acti method="post">
  <h3>Basic information</h3>
  
  &lt;!--&lt;input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Project name" class="validate['required']" value="" /&gt;--&gt;

  &lt;?php


  /* input text projectName */
  $data = array(
       'name' => 'projectName',
       'id' => 'projectName',
       'value' =>  set_value('projectName'),
       'maxlength' => '45',
       'size' => '45',
                        'placeholder'=>'Project name',
                        'class'=>"validate['required']"
   );



echo form_label('Project Name', 'projectName');
echo br(1);
echo form_input($data);
$this->session->set_userdata($data);//= set_value('projectName');
print_r($data);
echo $this->session->userdata('projectName');

&lt;/form&gt;

That's what I'd expect to happen. Since your data is not yet in the $_POST array, there's nothing for set_value() to use. You can pass in a second parameter to set_value(), which is the default value to use in the event that the form has not been posted:

Code:

$data = array(
    /* ... */
    'value' =>  set_value('projectName', $this->session->userdata('projectName')),
    /* ... */
);

Hope this helps.
