Question

With how my template is set up I’m attempting to put a span tag inside of a form label for my Codeigniter login form.

I know I’m doing this wrong but not sure on my fix and hoping someone could clue me in. When I have this rendered it gives me an array to string conversion error.

$attributes = array('class' => 'span12', 'id' => 'username');
echo form_input('<span class="icon16 icomoon-icon-user-3 right gray marginR10"></span>username', '', $attributes);

Answer 1

Keep it simple like:

echo "<label for='short'>**<span class='icon16 icomoon-icon-user-3'></span>**Short Description</label><br/>";
$attributes = array('name'=>'shortdesc','class' => 'span12','id'=>'username');
echo form_input($attributes);
