So here's what I've done since the last post. I setup a fresh install of CI 1.7 (what my site is using). $_POST/$this->input->post() seems to be working normally. I didn't use my exact code to test the form, but I did notice something odd about my code that I failed to mention earlier since I just realized now it's weirder than I initially thought.
I've read about people doing a var_dump($_POST) and getting an empty array printout (something like "array(0) {}"). However, before & after posting,
I get "NULL" as my printout for the var_dump($_POST). This seems really odd to me, as if $_POST is completely unavailable (i.e. NULL) rather than simply empty. In my fresh 1.7 install, I can do var_dump($_POST) and get expected results (all my posted vars are printed), so it doesn't seem like an issue where $_POST is reset by CodeIgniter. BTW, I'm using PHP 5.2, so $_POST should be available. Does this spur any ideas?
