Form field data pulled from database

[eluser]mdcode[/eluser]
Thanks jedd... I've been playing with this some and spotted the fatal ($data) thing and have taken that part out. I've also changed it so that instead of trying to get all data for all fields in one function, I'm just trying to set it up to display the list of customers in a function called "get_customers" like so:

Code:

function get_customers()
    {
        /* customer selection query */
        $this->db->select('customerid', 'customerName');
        $this->db->from('customers');
        $this->db->order_by('customerName');
        $this->db->get();
    }

Now I'm not quite sure what to put in the controller to make it pass this into the view, and what attributes to put on the select box to make it display the values -- I'm getting the same errors as before still.
