Lets you generate hidden input fields. You can either submit a name/value string to create one field:
1 2 | form_hidden('username', 'johndoe');// Would produce: <input type="hidden" name="username" value="johndoe" /> |
... or you can submit an associative array to create multiple fields:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | $data = array( 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => '[email protected]',);echo form_hidden($data);/* Would produce: <input type="hidden" name="name" value="John Doe" /> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="[email protected]" /> <input type="hidden" name="url" value="http://example.com" />*/ |
You can also pass an associative array to the value field:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | $data = array( 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => '[email protected]',);echo form_hidden('my_array', $data);/* Would produce: <input type="hidden" name="my_array[name]" value="John Doe" /> <input type="hidden" name="my_array[email]" value="[email protected]" /> <input type="hidden" name="my_array[url]" value="http://example.com" />*/ |
If you want to create hidden input fields with extra attributes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | $data = array( 'type' => 'hidden', 'name' => 'email', 'id' => 'hiddenemail', 'value' => '[email protected]', 'class' => 'hiddenemail');echo form_input($data);/* Would produce: <input type="hidden" name="email" value="[email protected]" id="hiddenemail" class="hiddenemail" />*/ |
