Question about repopulating fields in my form

[eluser]dedenf[/eluser]
i always do this to process the form

Code:

if ($this->validation->run() == false){
            $this->load->view('register',$data);
        }else {
            //your filter and other process
        }

and i use the input class to sanitize the submitted data from the form.

Code:

$this->input->post('college');
$this->input->post('notified');
