Hi,
I am trying to do this:

Code:

//view.php
<input type="hidden" name="Name" value="<?php echo $variable->id; ?>

with CI's form_hidden helper:

Code:

//view.php
<?php echo form_hidden('Name','<?php echo $variable->id;') ?>

Nothing prints when I use the CI helper function but the first input type works fine. Any assistance will be appreciated.

I just wrap my input forms inside a div tag and make the div tag invisible, like this

<div id="id_" name="id_" style="display:none">

(Labels, buttons and input forms can go here)

</div>

To turn it back on you just need to get the element by id and then set display:inline or display:block

Don't call the PHP Processor from inside the PHP Processor. Don't use quotes either. Just access the variable directly.

Code:

<?php echo form_hidden('name', $variable->id); ?>

And I'd like to say:

The OP wasn't talking about temporarily hiding form elements that aren't being used. They were talking about input type 'hidden.'

oh...Zack..you're right. Sorry.

Not a problem.
