How to echo an array to a form?

My array

    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => item1
            [price] => 300
            [quantity] => 1
        )

It's possible to echo to a form in array format?

You have to run through the array with a foreach loop to echo things out. Which part of the form are you trying to populate? Textarea, textfield, select? — max234435

echo form_textarea('detail_prod',print_r($detail, true));
