Sorry, I didn't think you get my message...
What I want is, when user is in the edit page... the form in edit page will
be populated with the values from session variables..So I created the form
in ediit.ctp file like this :
//app/views/persons/edit.ctp
<h1>Edit Person</h1>
<?
<?
echo $form->create('Person');
echo $form->input('name');
echo $form->input('pob');
echo $form->input('dob');
echo $form->input('address');
echo $form->end('Save');
?>
Those form fields (name, pob, dob, address) will be automatically populated
with the values from session variables. Maybe in the standard form field it
should be like this:
//app/views/persons/edit.ctp
echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='name' value="$_SESSION['person.name']">";
echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='name' value="$_SESSION['person.pob']">";
echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='name' value="$_SESSION['person.dob']">";
echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='name' value="$_SESSION['person.address']">";
How can I do this using form helper ??
Thanks..
