    <p>I kind if have an interesting question. I'm trying to prefill an edit form in codeignitert. I have most of the values coming through the database, but my select box is giving me a few issues. I want it to only highlight what they had previously selected not erase the list and fill it in with what they selected...if that makes any sence.</p> <p>Here is my html</p> <pre><code>&lt;?foreach($info as $row) :?&gt; &lt;select multiple="multiple" class="multi" name="wGenre[]"&gt; &lt;option value="Action/Adventure"&gt;Action/Adventure&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Angst"&gt;Angst&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Crime"&gt;Crime&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Drama"&gt;Drama&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Family"&gt;Family&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Fantasy"&gt;Fantasy&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Friendship"&gt;Friendship&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="General"&gt;General&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;?endforeach;?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've already tried a couple of things. I have tried putting the list in a inner for loop and trying to select what comes back through the echo, but that only threw me errors. I could do an individual if statement for each item, but I shortened the list above and have another just like it and that seems like an unnecessary amount of code.</p> <p>If it helps, when I echo back the entire list it comes back as a string, like this. Fantasy Friendship General and I do have full text searching enabled.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for any help! :)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
