set_radio() pre-populate problems

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hmm, no dice. It works for validation to pre-populate but it doesn't load the db value on the first load.

edit: i ended up using a solution like this from here:

Code:

<?php $options = array(
                  ''       => 'Select',
                  'Yes'  => 'Yes'
                );
        
    echo form_dropdown('volunteer_applied_c', $options, set_value('volunteer_applied_c', $application_data['volunteer_applied_c']));
    
     ?>

If validation rules are set for the field then it will update the value from the submission after being pre-populated by the database value, $application_data['volunteer_applied_c']
