Quick question regarding form_validation

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
You are correct, however you may be better off accessing the post array like this:

Code:

$this->input->post('field_name');

CodeIgniter has been designed so that you controller methods should never need to access the $_POST array directly. It's also easier to use. You can do:

Code:

$some_field = $this->input->post('some_field');
{
    # Do something

instead of having to do:

Code:

$some_field = (isset($_POST['some_field')) ? $_POST['some_field') : FALSE;
{
    # Do something

Trust your instincts, the force is strong with you...

Just my 2 pence.
