Hello Everyone.

{
    $last_goals = $getdesired[0]->ds_goals;
}
else
{
    $last_goals = set_value('career_goals');  // without login this value come
}

$data = array('id'=>'id_career_goals',
    'name'=>'career_goals',

Solution: It's work..

Add Blank Rule.

$this->form_validation->set_rules('field_name', '', '');

In textarea you are trying to echo set_value() similar to input field.but in textarea value can retain only if you giving the value between<textarea><?php echo set_value('name'); ?></textarea>
