How to set value in an input field?

I'm using a codeigniter framework;

 

<?php 
							$data_input_fname = array('class'=>'input-large',
												'name'=>'firstname',
												'id'=>'firstname',
												'value'=>set_value('<?php echo $fname;?>'),
												'maxlength'=>'100');		

							echo form_input($data_input_fname);

 

<?php 
							$data_input_fname = array('class'=>'input-large',
												'name'=>'firstname',
												'id'=>'firstname',
												'value'=>set_value($fname),
												'maxlength'=>'100');		

							echo form_input($data_input_fname);

 

i already tried those two, but nothing come out in my input field.

CodeIgniter's set_value() is for validation repopulation, and belongs in the input function. form_input('field_name', set_value('field_name')).  You should read CI's manual, it's quite comprehensive.

 

Like @ChristianF said, just set the value with the variable.

No, it won't. For the same reason that the original code didn't work, as explained by Mahngiel just above your post.

 

It's nice that you want to help, but please at least read the entire post and make sure that your solution is indeed correct. Otherwise you're not actually helping, but only making the situation worse. Which I'm sure you don't want.
