Unable to throw my hidden input to Controller

Yeah, I'd imagine it's got to do with putting an input field (in your case the hidden one) inside an anchor tag. Your <a> tag is all over the place, it has no href=""..., it has not 'link text' between the opening and closing <a> tags....

I'm guessing your trying to pass the $item->data_id as an identifier so when the user clicks on the link some action happens, but only for that particular $data_id..??? You'll have to append/concatenate this variable to your href attribute and then in your controller extract it using $this->uri->segment(whatever segment your $data_id is). Or make a new form inside your foreach loop for each item, and use a hidden field to populate this value... I think you may be trying to combine both methods together, and that's where your getting into trouble.
