Code Igniter - form_dropdown selecting correct value from the database

Question

Im having a few problems with the form_dropdown function in CodeIgniter .... My application is in 2 parts, a user goes in, enters a form and submits it .... once its submitt

Answer 1

one nasty solution to select the element of generated by form_dropdown() function of the form_helper is using the post input sended. I made this because any solutions I found doesn't display the value that the user select in the form neither set_selected nor set_vaule. Well, in my controller I have:

$countries = $this->country_model->get_dropdown_array(); // The array have something like $countries[COUNTRY_ID] = COUNTRY_NAME
$data['countries']=$countries;

In my view:

$selected_country = $this->input->post('country');
echo form_dropdown('country',$countries,$selected_country);

And works fine !!! :)
