codeigniter using ion auth, need to make input text fields longer

Question

just installed ion auth for codeigniter and im customizing the login page.

the default login.php uses:

<?php echo lang('login_password_label', 'password');?>
<?php echo form_input($password);?>

which produces the following html results;

<label for="password">Password:</label><input type="password" name="password" value="" id="password"  />

i need to append size="55" to the input box, so it looks like this:

<label for="password">Password:</label><input type="password" size="55" name="password" value="" id="password"  />

any ideas how i would do that?

Answer 1

$password = array(
              'name'        => 'password',
              'id'          => 'password',
              'size'        => '55',
            );

echo form_password($password);
