I am using form_validation library in Codeigniter, I am facing an issue while using set_value() function.
It not sets the value when an error occure in form validation. Here is my form ==>
<div class="form-group"> <label for="first_name">First Name*</label> <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" required placeholder="Enter First Name" class="form-control" <?php set_value('first_name'); ?>> <span id = "err_first_name"></span> <?php echo form_error('first_name', '<div class="error">', '</div>'); ?> </div>
Here is my Controller code ==>
$this->load->library('form_validation'); $this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error">', '</div>'); $this->form_validation->set_rules('first_name', 'First Name', 'trim|required|regex_match[/^[a-zA-Z]+$/]',array('required' => 'Please enter %s.', 'regex_match' => 'Only Characters allowed, no space')); if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) { $this->load->view('admin/user/add_user'); }
Here I am attaching an image of the output. It does not show the previous entered value.

Use set_value()
as the value of value
attribute
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" required placeholder="Enter First Name" class="form-control" value="<?php echo set_value('first_name'); ?>">
