How could be possible something like this:
The standard of form syntax is:
<?php echo form_open('controller_name/function_name');?>
But I have came to moment when I need to make form controller function with argument which would look something like this:
<?php echo form_open('controller_name/function_name(argument_name)');?>
I searched on google but I couldn't find any solutions for this. Any ideas?
I would suggest you put those arguments into hidden fields:
Adding Hidden Input Fields
Hidden fields can be added by passing an associative array to the third parameter, like this:
$hidden = array('username' => 'Joe', 'member_id' => '234');
echo form_open('email/send', '', $hidden);
The above example would create a form similar to this:
<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" action="http:/example.com/index.php/email/send">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="Joe" />
<input type="hidden" name="member_id" value="234" />

I think you mean this?
echo form_open($form_action, $attributes);
If not, please clarify what you mean with arguments?
you could do this
<?php
echo form_open('controller_name/function_name/{$arg_1}/{$arg_2}')
?>
and your controller as usual will have the
class controller_name extends CI_Controller {
function function_name($arg_i, $arg_2) {
//function content
}
}
