Codeigniter Add Glyphicon to Form Button

Question

Using Codeigniter 3 I would like to display a glyphicon on my form submit button.

My code so far is;

$data = array(
    'type'      => 'submit',
    'content'   => 'Add Book',
    'class'     => 'btn btn-sm btn-labeled btn-success'
    );
echo form_button($data);

This produces the following html;

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm btn-labeled btn-success">Add Book</button>

However I would like to produce this html;

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm btn-labeled btn-success"><span class="btn-label"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></span> Add Book</button>

I have tried the following;

echo form_button('<span class="btn-label"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></span>', $data);

This produces an error Array to string conversion.

I have also read the documentation, but can't figure it out.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to add the span like this

$data = array(
'type'      => 'submit',
'content'   => '<span class="btn-label"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></span>Add Book',
'class'     => 'btn btn-sm btn-labeled btn-success'
);

echo form_button($data);
