OOC, how did you send an array? Be precise.

With your var_dump - you can also use print_r - you often want to echo "<pre>" first - do you know this HTML? It tells the browser that what follows is preformatted text, so it displays it as is, without wrapping it only very long lines, etc.

[code]object(CI_DB_mysql_result)#17 (7) { ...

What this says .. is that it's an object.

The form function you are trying to use doesn't just have a slight preference for, or feels marginally happier about having, an array.

It really does need an array.

Consequently your model will need to use a different db call to get the model OR you have to convert the model to an array in there somehow. Hint - the first option is easier.
