passing variable through model

[eluser]vtatds[/eluser]
it was late and wasn't thinking clearly. i have one controller for users, but 3 functions.

the issue i had before was post vars vs. url segments, but i used session there, because it was appropriate.

what @mawi27 said will completely work. not used the the mvc and i felt like i needed the model to pass back to the controller what i see now it obviously has...

thanks everyone for all your help
