Hello All,
I am collecting info from a form and posting it to my db using the following code. It occurred to me that the $post_data array that I have created might be redundant. Should I pass the _POST array to the model instead of writing my own $post_data array?
Code:
if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('wt08/wt08_view');
}
else
{
$post_data = array(
'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),
'gender' => $this->input->post('gender'),
'address' => $this->input->post('address'),
'city' => $this->input->post('city'),
'state' => $this->input->post('state'),
'zip' => $this->input->post('zip'),
'camper_email' => $this->input->post('camper_email'),
'birthdate' => $this->input->post('birthdate'),
'age_at_time_of_camp' => $this->input->post('age_at_time_of_camp'),
'first_time_camper' => $this->input->post('first_time_camper'),
'father_guardian' => $this->input->post('father_guardian'),
'mother_guardian' => $this->input->post('mother_guardian'),
'home_phone' => $this->input->post('home_phone'),
'cell_phone' => $this->input->post('cell_phone'),
'parent_email' => $this->input->post('parent_email'),
'church_group' => $this->input->post('church_group'),
'buddy_1' => $this->input->post('buddy_1'),
'buddy_2' => $this->input->post('buddy_2'),
'payment_pref' => $this->input->post('payment_pref'),
'payment_received' => '0',
'timestamp' => date("Y-m-d-h-i-s"),
'additional_notes' => $this->input->post('additional_notes', TRUE)
);
$this->load->model('wt08/wt08_model', '', TRUE);
$this->wt08_model->add_participant($post_data);
In other words, is this better practice? Is it safe?
Code:
if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('wt08/wt08_view');
}
else
{
$this->load->model('wt08/wt08_model', '', TRUE);
$this->wt08_model->add_participant(_POST);
Thanks in advance!
Jesse
