<?= form_open()?>
<?=form_open()?>

<?=isset($message) ? $message : ''?>


Username: <?=form_input('username', set_value('username'))?>


Password: <?=form_password('password')?>

<?=form_submit('submit', 'Login')?>
<?=form_close()?>

You do not have php short tags turned on:

Code:
&lt;?=

// change all php tags to

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

hi apologies

<?php form_open()?>

<?php isset($message) ? $message : ''?>


Username: <?php form_input('username', set_value('username'))?>


Password: <?php form_password('password')?>

<?php form_submit('submit', 'Login')?>
<?php form_close()?>

for the above it was omitting the "echo" ...see below ... fixed this .

<?php echo form_open()?>

<?php isset($message) ? $message : ''?>


Username: <?php echo form_input('username', set_value('username'))?>


Password: <?php echo form_password('password')?>

<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Login')?>
<?php echo form_close()?>

First, please enclose your code in the [ code][ /code] tags so we can read your code easier.

Next, your php statements do not appear to have the closing semicolon ( Wink

which may or may not be the problem. I have inserted them in the snippet below.

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open(); ?&gt;

&lt;?php isset($message) ? $message : ‘’; ?&gt;

  Username: &lt;?php echo form_input(‘username’, set_value(‘username’)); ?&gt;

  Password: &lt;?php echo form_password(‘password’); ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_submit(‘submit’, ‘Login’); ?&gt;

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

Did you load the form helper?

@TWP Marketing - technically you only need semicolons to separate multiple statements within a single php code block, although it's generally a best-practice to use them at the end of each statement. Never worked for a professional firm where that was acceptable.

@CroNiX, Thanks for the tip. I never leave them out, so it has never come up before.
