form_dropdown() always returns 0

xwero,

I see. So, that's the way to do it. May I just make a follow-up question: How can I display its value instead of index only? Because $fby['name'], where 'name' = 'birth_year,' when used here: 'birthday' => $this->input->post('birth_year'), outputs the index only and not its value. How can I display the value?

Also, if I display the source of the rendered page, all I see are HTML frame tags and other elements.

BTW, thanks for your time & for imparting your knowledge.
