Codeigniter form_open specify id

Question

How can I write the form ID in the form_open function in CodeIgniter? (I need to use the ID for the CSS). For example, this is simple HTML:

<form method="post" action="" id="my_form">

I am trying the following code, but it does not work:

<?php echo form_open('my_form'); ?>

Thanks.

$attributes = array('id' => 'myform');
echo form_open('email/send', $attributes);

Solution 2

You can also use:

echo form_open('controller/method',array('id'=>$id,'method'=>'post'))

Solution 3

echo form_open('controller/method',array('id'=>$id,'method'=>'post'))

Please consider adding explanations to your code. While it may be self-explanatory to you, other people could very much benefit from some added explaination as to why and how your code solves the question problem.
