Answer 1

This should do it:

<?php
    echo $form->input($r['Attribute']['label'], array('type'=>'text','style' => 'width:' . $r['Attribute']['size'] . 'px'));
?>

Two things: Your array key->value pairing was messed up, and you need to give units to the width. I assumed that want you wanted to give it was a width in pixels, but if you just want to set the size of the input field you can do this:

<?php
    echo $form->input($r['Attribute']['label'], array('type'=>'text', 'size' => $r['Attribute']['size']));
?>
