Nice way of getting field values? - El Forum - 09-18-2009

Is there a fancy pancy way of getting field values from a <form etc.. > in a viewer lets say form.php to a controller email.php. Or is it the old fashion way. I can't find any thing in the user_guide. Is it because there isn't anything or did I mess up the search?
Code:
$message = $_POST['firstname']. " says hello frendo!";
$message .= "You can email me on ".$_POST['email'].".";
$this->email->message($message);Nice way of getting field values? - El Forum - 09-18-2009

If you are going to be inserting data i just do something like this:-
Code:
$values = $_POST;
$this->db->insert('mytable', $values);But for email, i think you have to do it the way your doing it.

I guess this is the CI-way.
Code:
$this->input->post('name');Nice way of getting field values? - El Forum - 09-19-2009

If you name your form fields like "animal[name]" then "$this->input->post('animal')" gets you your complete animal.
Combine it with something like the following for bonus points.
