php - CodeIgniter drop down list not populating in the correct location -


i new ci , php. have dropdown list of countries populated table in database. have managed ci grab , render data via mysql, it's populating in plain text above form, , not instead, in values of drop down list. below simplified code. how can values in drop down list?

my view...

<body>  <?php echo validation_errors(); ?>  <?php echo form_open('form'); ?>  <h5>country</h5> <select name="countryselect"> <?php echo form_dropdown(countryselect);?> </select>  <br><br>  <div><input type="submit" value="submit" /></div>  <?php echo form_close() ?>  </body>

my controller...

<?php  class form extends ci_controller {      function index()     {         $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));         $this->load->library('form_validation');                  $this->form_validation->set_rules('firstname', 'first name', 'trim|required|max_length[12]|xss_clean');         $this->form_validation->set_rules('lastname', 'last name', 'trim|required|max_length[12]|xss_clean');         $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'email', 'trim|required|valid_email');         $this->form_validation->set_rules('pledge', 'pledge', 'trim|required|max_length[12]|decimal|xss_clean');          $this->load->model('country');         $data['country'] = $this->country->get_country();          if ($this->form_validation->run() == false)         {             $this->load->view('myform');         }         else         {             $this->load->database();              $sql = "insert donations (firstname, lastname, email, pledge) values (             ".$this->db->escape($this->input->post('firstname')).",             ".$this->db->escape($this->input->post('lastname')).",             ".$this->db->escape($this->input->post('email')).",             ".$this->db->escape($this->input->post('pledge')).")";              $this->db->query($sql);              echo $this->db->affected_rows();               $this->load->view('formsuccess');         }     } } ?>

my model...

<?php  class country extends ci_model {  function get_country() {     $this->load->database();     $return[''] = 'please select';     $this->db->order_by('name');      $query = $this->db->get('countries');      foreach($query->result_array() $row){         echo '<option value="'.$return[$row['id']] = $row['name'].'">',$return[$row['id']] = $row['name'],'</option>'. "\n";     }     return $return; } } ?>

you code little messed up, way named country , not countryselect in 

$data['country'] = $this->country->get_country();

so use $country variable in view. important thing form_dropdown required array parameter, not option.

have here;

if want create select in way don't need form_dropdown regular html:

<select name="select_country"><?php echo $country; ?></select>

and need pass view:

$this->load->view('myform', $data);

edit:

remember controller != model != view , have use them single purpose.

you used controller saving data in db, concettually wrong, should pass data model , let perform queries...and should use activerecord instead of prevent sqlinjection.

in module managed data, creating select, if can, better thing pass query result controller , let manage that.
