Help - can't get POST form data

[eluser]tjackson1982[/eluser]
Hello,

I have some simple files that I would think would capture the POST from a form but just doesn't seem to get the actual data.

Funny thing is it detects if IS data, but doesn't actually collect it - even using the $_POST['field']; method.

I do get a blank entry in my table.

Controller -

Code:

class Posting extends Controller {

    var $headline ='';

    function Posting()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
        $this->load->model('Headline','Posting',TRUE);
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('posting_page.htm');
    }
    
    function posting_headline()
    {
        $headline = $_POST['headline'];
        
        if ( $this->input->post('headline') !== FALSE ) {
            $this->Posting->posting($headline);
        }
    
    }
}

Model

Code:

class Headline extends Model {

    var $headline ='';
    var $source ='';
    var $link ='';
    var $image_link='';
    var $author='';
    var $views='';
    var $catagory='';
    var $date_time='';
    

    function Headline()
    {
        // Call the Model constructor
        parent::Model();
    }
    
    function posting($headline_in) {
    
        $headline = $headline_in;//$this->input->post('headline', TRUE);
        $source = $this->input->post('source', TRUE);
        $link = $this->input->post('link', TRUE);
        $image_link = $this->input->post('img_link', TRUE);
        $author = $this->input->post('author', TRUE);
        $views = $this->input->post('view', TRUE);
        $catagory = $this->input->post('catagory', TRUE);
        
        $date_time=time();
        
        $this->db->insert('headline', $this);
    }


}

and View file.

Code:

<form method="post" name="posting_form" action="posting_headline/">
        
Headline title
<input name="headline" type="text">
Source
<input id="source" type="text">
Source Link
<input id="link" type="text">
Any Image links
<input id="img_link" type="text">
Who wrote it
<input id="author" type="text">
How many views (may not be an input)
<input id="view" type="text">
What Catagory
<input id="catagory" type="text">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

It all seems logical
