Split form in many pages... better way?

well in order to have the code handled by multiple controllers, you can simply post the data to the url for the controller and output a field in the view.

Code:

$data['savedFieldData'] = "";
foreach($_POST as $field=>$value){
    $data['savedFieldData'] .= "<input type='hidden' name='{$field}' id='{$field}'";
    $data['savedFieldData'] .= " value='{$value}' />";

of course a cleaner way of doing this is to have a model generate the output and use the $this->input->post('fieldname'), but for prototyping rapidly, there is no reason not to loop through raw posts (as long as you make a note to go back to the code and make it production ready)

By doing this in a model you would also have the code in the controller cut down dramatically keeping your controllers and views skinny.
