Form drop_down problem

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]

Because even if I have this it does not work

$options = array(
'small' => 'Small Shirt',
'med' => 'Medium Shirt',
'large' => 'Large Shirt',
'xlarge' => 'Extra Large Shirt',
);
$this->load->view('admin_view',$options);
and then in admin_view:

<?php echo form_dropdown('shirts', $options, 'large'); ?>

Should look like:

Code:

$data['options'] = array(
    'small'  => 'Small Shirt',
    'med'    => 'Medium Shirt',
    'large'   => 'Large Shirt',
    'xlarge' => 'Extra Large Shirt'
    );
$this->load->view('admin_view',$data);
//and then in admin_view:

echo form_dropdown('shirts', $options, 'large');

It's basically the same noctrum told you - I just tried to make it
easier (visually)

It's important for you to understand that you send an array to the view
(in my example "$data") which keys are usable as variables/arrays in your view.

Veery basic example:

Code:

// controller:
$data['variable_1'] = 'Value 1';
$data['variable_2'] = 'Value 2';
$data['test_array'] = array(0 => 'array value 1', 1 => 'array value 2');
$this->load->view('admin_view',$data);

//view file:
echo $variable_1;
echo $variable_2;
foreach ($test_array ...)
// do something

Hope that makes it a bit clearer.
