Re: Non-database fields in view

I'm having no problem loading the data from the selected table, but it appears the variable where I put it is not bound to the data for the view. When I do $form->input("something_1"); the element is empty. However, in the controller I have verified (using print_r) that the variable is not empty. So, how do I bind that variable so it will be output?

Help!

If the data I want to put on the page is in an array, just $form->input("thearray")? And, where do I receive the data back when the user hits "submit"? I need to process the users input, before the primary database row for the controller is added/updated and possibly add one or more rows to another table other than the primary table for the controller. I do understand that I need to add the $uses to identify all tables being processed by the controller, if tables other than the primary table are needed. Basically, I've got some business logic I need to apply, before any tables are updated and I'm just having trouble understanding at what point I will get access to the data.

Thanks,

Merrill

I need to add a few input fields to a view. I'm thinking to create the variables in the controller and then pass them to the view, but I don't really understand how to do it. If someone could offer me a short/simple example, I would appreciate it very much.  Thank you.
