Edit form echoes previously saved data correctly but does not update the form fields

Question

Echoing previously saved data (excluding those from dropdown values) already works fine for me. I could see correct data saved for a particular record, however, after editin

Answer 1

i think your problem is with this : redirect('client/manage_jobs?message=Job updated.'); instead use something like $this->load->view('success');

create a view called success and write a message saying success. put it after the update/insert function

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I had to add $id = $obj['id']; to update particular entry attempted to be edited
