Validation

You would select that data from your database and pass it to the view - just like you would any other data.

Controller:

Code:

$query = $this->db->select('username')->getwhere('users', array('id'=>'1'), 1, 0);
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
  $row = $query->row();
  $this->data->user->username = $row->username;
}

View:

Code:

<p><label for="username">Username:</label><br />
&lt;input type="text" name="username" value="&lt;?= $user-&gt;username; ?&gt;" size="50" /></p>
