Referring to the Codeigniter user guide at http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/form_helper.html, I cannot seem to figure out how to set the ‘name’ property of a form using CI’s form helper. Only ‘id’ can be set by passing an array in. Can the ‘name’ of the form be set without passing an array to the form_open() function?

    The name attribute for a form is actually deprecated:

    17.3 The FORM element

    [….]

    name = cdata [CI]
    This attribute names the element so that it may be referred to

    from style sheets or scripts. Note.
    This attribute has been included for
    backwards compatibility. Applications
    should use the id attribute to
    identify elements.

    If you really want to pass it, I fear you have no choice but using the array you want to avoid, as you read in the manual.
