Quote:Sure, but they don’t extract data directly from $this->input->post() do they? You actually pass it to them.
No, the controller passes it. As far as the model knows, it's just an array.

By the way, JayTee, why is the underscore in front of the build_user function in your example? Does that denote the function is exclusive to this class?
Edit: you wrote private function, this must be the case

No, it denotes a private method that cannot be access via a URI. After all, you wouldn't want people running functions that aren't meant to be accessible by the user, would you? http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/controllers.html#private
