1.7 Form validation

[eluser]Thorpe Obazee[/eluser]
This is what I do to pre polulate the form field(it's in the user guide).

Code:

<input type="text" class="span-2" value="<?php echo set_value('username');?>" name="username" id="username" />

However, if you have something from the database, you might have something like this where $user->first_name is the default value(from the database)

Code:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo set_value('first_name', $user->first_name);?>" name="first_name" id="first_name" />
