[quote author="zauber" date="1198100383"]Ah, thanks! the $this->input thing I did not know about. I was just pulling things from $_POST directly. But I think that the $_POST array is always set (it's just empty sometimes) so the first alternative doesn't work. The second alternative looks brilliant though.[/quote]

Be sure to read the Input Class page in the CI user guide; it explains this and a whole lot more.
