Passing value to PHP form_open function

Question

I am trying to call the form_open function and pass a value to the function it's calling. I'm trying to pass the value for $data->advisee_id. Once it calls the setAdvisees function I want it to echo the value. I've tried a number of things and I'm thinking I might need to pass it into the array which is the second parameter for form open. Does anyone know how I would do this? The below code I have currently gives an error when form_open is called stating:

"An Error Was Encountered. The URI you submitted has disallowed characters."

eligibletoenroll_view.php

        <?= form_open('app/staff/advisees/setAdvisees($data->advisee_id)', array(
    'class' => 'user-contact',
)) ?>

advisees.php

   function setAdvisees($advisee_id) {
        echo $advisee_id;

Just send like this

<?= form_open('app/staff/advisees/setAdvisees/$advisee_id)'

This sill act as

<form action="app/staff/advisees/setAdvisees/$advisee_id"

If advise id coming from array then before form open

$advisee_id = "some thing"

Example

<form action="app/staff/advisees/setAdvisees/25"
