(form validation library CI 1.7.0)

Hi, I want to repopulate a form, using the Form Validation library, with session data (if the data exists). I was thinking about something like this:

Code:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

        {

            //Not OK OR validation hasn't run yet

            // Check for session data

            if($this->session->userdata("myform_data"))

            {

                // Repopulate form with session data

            }

            else

            {

                // Blank form - initial state

                $data = array();

            }

        }

        else

        {

            // OK - Do stuff with validated input data

        }

Is there a method I can use to repopulate from fields?
Something like:

Code:
$this->form_validation->fieldname = "some value";

or

$this->form_validation->set_value('fieldname','some value');

(both don't work)

Look at the form validation class for re-populating the form

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;My Form&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_open('form'); ?&gt;

<h5>Username</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="username" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('username'); ?&gt;" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="password" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('password'); ?&gt;" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Password Confirm</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="passconf" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('passconf'); ?&gt;" size="50" /&gt;

<h5>Email Address</h5>

&lt;input type="text" name="email" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('email'); ?&gt;" size="50" /&gt;

<div>&lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/div>

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;
