Best way to pass a couple of variables from a Controller to a Model?

Is there a reason you don't want to pass them as parameters to your model methods? i.e. do something like this in your controller:

Code:

$this->load->model('staff_model');
$this->staff_model->update_staff_events($completedstaffrows, $completedeventrows);

Then just have your model accept these params:

Code:

function update_staff_events($completedstaffrows, $completedeventrows)
{
    // do stuff with your vars...
}
