Putting some values into the fields before the first submission

Question

Thnaks.

You could retrieve the values via using the model, etc.

The form helper can help you with the values. for example:

//Controller
$data['user'] = $this->user_model->get_user($id);
$this->load->view('yourview', $data);

 // View
<input type='Text' name='username' value='<?php echo set_value('name', $user->name);?>'>
