I'd like to change the type of input field from text to numbers only.I've tried as following
<?= form_input('num', '','class="form-control" id="num", type="number"');?>
but not working
Try this one for numeric input:
$data = array(
'name' => 'num',
'id' => 'num',
'class'=> 'form-control',
'type' => 'number'
);
echo form_input($data);
You should pass everything as an associative array, here the array index are attribute of HTML input tag.
<?= form_input(array(
'name' => 'num',
'class' => 'form-control',
'type' => 'number'// input type number
));
?>

$data = array(
'name' => 'num',
'id' => 'num',
'class' => 'form-control',
'type' => 'number' //it's 'number', not 'numeric'
);
echo form_input($data);
I find it useful to add a step parameter for currency fields.
echo form_input(array(
'name' => 'estimated_cost',
'id' => 'estimated_cost',
'class' => 'form-control',
'type' => 'number',
'step' => 0.01
));
