On my view I have a form_dropdown with some options
PHP Code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input_country">Country</label>
<?php
$options[] = array();
foreach ($countries as $key => $value) {
$options['0'] = '--- Select Country ---';
$options[$value['iso_code_2']] = $value['name'];
}
echo form_dropdown('country_id', $options, '', array('class' => 'form-control', 'id' => 'input_country'));
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The iso code for Australia is AU
Question: If there is a error on form and have selected country how can I make sure it stays on the country so do not have to go through list again
PHP Code:
<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

{
// Success form area

} else {
$data['country_id'] = '';
}
$this->load->view('default/template/common/header', $data);
$this->load->view('default/template/account/register', $data);
$this->load->view('default/template/common/footer', $data);
}
public function validate()
{
// Set the form validation rules
}
}
There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual. Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
