[eluser]UdayD[/eluser]
I just read that to write a form input i have to write as below:

Code:

$data = array(
              'name'        => 'username',
              'id'          => 'username',
              'value'       => 'johndoe',
              'maxlength'   => '100',
              'size'        => '50',
              'style'       => 'width:50%',
            );

echo form_input($data);

but if i have to write 10 inputs with same length, size and style.
how will i do that do i need to make ten different arrays and the pass them to
echo form_input($array1);...
how will i do this?? is their a simpler way?
Thanks in advance

Make an array and name is tomsething
then in there you sart an array with arrays

Code:

$config = array('contact' => array(array('field' => 'fieldname',
                                            'label' => 'bedrijfsnaam'
                                            'rules' => 'trim|required|callback_check_form'
                                             ),
                                     array('field' => 'fieldname',
                                           'label' => 'Naam',
                                           'rules' => 'trim|required'
                                             ),
                                    array('field' => 'fieldname',
                                          'label' => 'adress',
                                          'rules' => 'trim|required'
                                             ),
//and so on and add Id's and whatever you want.

EDIT: Oh crap I read it wrong I posted a form validation srry

simpler way?

Code:

<label id="input">
&lt;input type="text" name="name" Id="id" value="value" style="widht: 500px" /&gt;
</label>
