Re: [fw-mvc] populate edit form?

" 'value'   => $this->entry['firstName'],  //Ive tried  a few things here, none worked lol"

You can do:

1. $this->firstName->getValue()
2. $this->getElement('firstName')->getValue()

In your controller,

$form->populate($_POST)

$form->populate($form->getValues())
