try this

Quote:My controller has the following code:
$project_id = $this->input->post(“ProjectID”);
echo $project_id;

Code:
echo "<pre>";

print_r($_POST);

echo "</pre>";

This way you can see all the variables that your form is posting. Maybe in your html the hidden fields are not within your <form></form> tags?.?.?

Thanks but I tried that with no results. I do believe I have all the form tags correct:

<form>
</form>
<html>
<head>
<title> TRMC T&E S&T </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Database Update</h1>
Project Details:<br />
<pre>
<form action="http://abc.ef.com/ll/index.php/updateprojects/update_project" method="post">
......
......
</form>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

The funny thing is when I make the form viewable it works fine.

Can you post the rendered html view and also the function you are posting to without removing any of the actual code?

what do you mean by this and how is it that you are hiding it?

What I meant is I am using a form_hidden which gives me this problem. Once I change the form_hidden to say form_input then everything works fine. This is why I think there is something wrong with the form_hidden function. I am questioning whether one can pass a value to a controller using $this->input->post coming from a form_hidden function. I am told I should be able to pass a value but it does not seem to work. The value is correct in the html code I show above but yet the post shows nothing. Once I make the form visible like a form_input than the value is captured by the post method and I can view it, modify it, and use it to insert values into my database.

I do it every day. Will you post the html code of your form rendered. from the <from XXX > to the </form> without taking anything out. (the version with hidden fields) I'm sure we will be able to figure out whats wrong very quickly.
