Access $this->validation->Name inside Models

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
XSS functions clean $this->validation->name, $this->input->post['name'], and $_POST['name'], so either one you use will be laundered (thanks, Mr. Wales for pointing that out to me recently).

However, I like to keep my models from having to worry about the HTTP request because this is the job of the controller. I typically just pass objects and arrays of objects between my controllers and models. For instance:

Code:

$this->load->model('message_model', 'message');
$message = $this->message->new();
$message->subject = $this->input->post('subject');
$message->body = $this->input->post('body');
$this->message->save($message);
