Ignore submit button when inserting with Active Record

I imagine you are not setting an array and instead using the post array. I always do it like this:

Code:

$author = $this->input->post('comment_author', TRUE);
$email = $this->input->post('comment_author_email', TRUE);
$comment = $this->input->post('comment_content', TRUE);
$data = array(
                'comment_article_ID' => $this->input->post('comment_article_ID', TRUE),
                'comment_author' => $author,
                'comment_author_email' => $email,
                'comment_content' => $comment,
                'comment_author_IP' => $this->input->ip_address()
            );
$this->db->insert('comments', $data);

This also gives you the ability to check the data submitted and do any processing on it. Which you should also be using the form validation class.
