Braking MVC Scheme

[eluser]J. Pavel Espinal[/eluser]
Hello Folks,

After discussing with a friend the way of doing something with CI, he insist that doing something like the example showed in CI user_guide would break the MVC Controller, e.g.

----CI_Example::Model_documentation----

Code:

class Blogmodel extends Model {

    var $title   = '';
    var $content = '';
    var $date    = '';

    function Blogmodel()
    {
        // Call the Model constructor
        parent::Model();
    }
    
    function insert_entry()
    {
        $this->title   = $_POST['title']; // please read the below note
        $this->content = $_POST['content'];
        $this->date    = time();

        $this->db->insert('entries', $this);
    }

    function update_entry()
    {
        $this->title   = $_POST['title'];
        $this->content = $_POST['content'];
        $this->date    = time();

        $this->db->update('entries', $this, array('id' => $_POST['id']));
    }

}

----CI_Example::Model_documentation END----

As you can see, accessing the data sent by the View (via $_POST) is to brake the MVC scheme as 'The model and controller have no direct knowledge of the view.', I'm I right in this matter?

After reading :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller

... I'm still not very clear about the subject.
