Using form validation on edit form and having form re-population?

Try this:

Code:

<input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo set_value('email', $user['email']); ?>" />

First time you load the form it'll show the $user['email'] value from your database. If you change this value then submit the form (but make a validation error somewhere) it'll remember the updated value you changed.
