CI Killing the $_POST variable

[eluser]HarishKumar[/eluser]
Hi
I think there is a problem in your action.Try the following

<?php echo form_open('main');?>
<p>&lt;input type="text" name="email_address" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit_button" /&gt;&lt;/p>
&lt;?php form_close();?&gt;

OR

&lt;form action="&lt;?php echo base_url().'main'?&gt;" method="post"&gt;

<p>&lt;input type="text" name="email_address" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit_button" /&gt;&lt;/p>
&lt;/form&gt;

Both will be working.Try it out
