html <input> unable to pass value to URL unless using codeigniter's input_form

Question

i create form search using codeigniter's form_helper

<?php echo form_open(site_url( 'lab/hasil_rawat_jalan'), array( 'method'=>'get')) ?>
<div class="form-group">
  <label class="sr-only" for="value">Search</label>
  <?php echo form_input( 'value', $this->input->get('value'), 'type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..."') ?>
</div>
<input class="btn btn-default btn-sm" type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

the problem is if i change

<?php echo form_input( 'value', $this->input->get('value'), 'type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..."') ?>

into this(which mean normal input tag)

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..." value="<?php echo $this->input->get('value');?>">

I can not get any value in my url, do I miss something here?

if you do not understand my question please ask. thanks^^

The advantage of using the functions of the Form helper instead of generating pure HTML is just that it's less problematic create the form dynamically and you just pass an array instead of concatenating strings. — Linus

Do you assign any values into data variable inside relevant controller method? — Norlihazmey Ghazali

If you want the value, please add name attribute.

<input name="value" type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..." value="<?php echo $this->input->get('value');?>" >
       ^          ^

In code igniter, first parameter in the name of the text box.

<?php echo form_input( 'value', $this->input->get('value'), 'type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..."') ?>
                       ^      ^

Here means that create and input text with value name with $this->input->get('value') this value:

 form_input( 'value', $this->input->get('value')...)

But in your case value become attribute, not the name of name attribute:

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="value" placeholder="Search..." value="<?php echo $this->input->get('value');?>">
