why am I not getting $this->input->post? - El Forum - 07-10-2012

Hi guys this is driving me mad.
View code
Code:
<? echo form_open('/zzz');?>
<? echo form_input('testtext');?>
<? echo form_submit('submit','send');?>
<? echo form_close();?>generates the following html
Code:
<form action="//localhost/ci/index.php/zzz" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<input type="text" name="testtext" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" />
</form>Controller zzz
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class zzz extends CI_controller
{
function index()
{
if (isset($this->input->post['testtext']))
{
echo $this->input->post['testtext'];
}
else
{
echo "no post value";
}
}
}config file has base_url set to "//localhost/ci/"
Index file set to "index.php"
The controller is being called but not passing the isset test and just gives me the no post value. I can't see what I am doing wrong.

update:
$_POST is being populated, but it is not being converted into $this->input->post
??

You are using square brackets, you have to use round ones
$this->input->post('testtext')
