Drop Down List Unable to Pass Value

[eluser]deliriumfolk[/eluser]
Hey, thanks guys for all your feedback. I got it working.
Aken had pointed it out that in my view the select menu has a different name.

What change in here is changing the name of the select to groupId.

Code:

View

User Group: <select name="groupId">
    <option value="" >--Select--</option>
    &lt;?php foreach ($usergroup as $usergroup_item) { ?&gt;
    <option value="&lt;?php echo $usergroup_item['groupId'] ?&gt;">&lt;?php echo $usergroup_item['name'] ?&gt;</option>
    &lt;?php } ?&gt;
</select>

And in here I changed the form_validation to groupId as well.

Code:

Controller

$this->form_validation->set_rules('groupId', 'User Group', 'required');

I believe the following changes allow the correct value from the drop down to pass to the model which is waiting to receive attribute from "groupId".
