Sorry for troubling you, i did it exactly like that the method you posted now. but when i use the same form for adding data it will give me udefined row severity error.
my add function is like

function add_form()
{

$this->load->view('individual/individual_form');
}

the edit works fine only when i load the form for adding purpose it gives me error.

I am newbie i hope you not getting angry coz i am asking lot

[eluser]Waqar[/eluser]
I know i am not definig the row in my above controller. can you please tell me a method that i could define the row in this one as empty value so my form must not give error

can i use something like this?

Code:

<label for=“surname”>Surname: </label>
      &lt;input type=“text” id=“surname” name=“surname” value=”&lt;?php if($data){echo $row-&gt;surname}?&gt;”>

hi you are doing wrong pass data with loading view like this

$data['row'] = $this->model_name->get_record();
$this->load->view(‘individual/individual_form’,$data);

check like this
<?php if($row->surname){echo $row->surname}?>

The editing part works fine. I am having problem with adding new data. how i can use the same form to add data. when i try that it give me severity error undefined row.
because i am not passing any value from controler trying to load the form empty

for that i already post above that use form helper check my post number 3 or 7 this is how we can use form helper.

<?=form_input($title)?>
<?=form_hidden($id)?>
