Form Generation Library

[eluser]macigniter[/eluser]
Kyle, the library automatically populates all "checkgroups", "radiogroups" and "selects" as arrays, no need to add [] after the name. In return all data returned from checkgroups, radiogroups and selects are arrays. So if you want to access a submitted value from a group of checkboxes you will have to do something like:

Code:

...

->select('size', $sizes, 'Your size', 'medium')

...

$selected = $this->input->post('size');

echo $selected[0]; // will output the selected size

In a multiple select field or in checkgroups the array contains all selected/checked values.

Btw... I haven't really thought about using arrays in regular text inputs yet. Never really used that feature in any of my forms. But it made me think when you wrote email[] in your example. I guess if you want to use arrays for text fields you still need to add the '[]', otherwise the form won't know you want to use an array of fields. Haven't tried if that works, though. Let me know if it does...
