getting post variables from the form helper - El Forum - 07-13-2007

hi all --
I'm using the form helper to make a form (of course) -- it should load the page again with the selected variable changed, i.e. language selection -- english, french, etc.
but for some reason I can't get the selected variable. it's a drop down list and the code looks like this:
$this->load->helper('form');
switch ($lant)
{
case "en": $this->lang->load('mustica', 'english');
break;
case "fr": $this->lang->load('mustica', 'french');
break;
}
echo form_open('index_gauche/menn');
$options = array(
'en' => $this->lang->line('menu_en'),
'fr' => $this->lang->line('menu_fr'),
);
$js = 'onChange="submit()"';
echo form_dropdown('lant', $options, 'en', $js);
echo form_close();
I try to read the "lant" variable several ways, namely $_POST, but get nothing. any clues?

Have you attempted using the correct method:
Code:
$this->input->post('variable');Please when posting code, use the correct BB tags to make it easier for everyone.
