SOLVED - POST returning bool False when value has been entered

[eluser]RJ[/eluser]
Hello,

This returns FALSE

Code:

$this->UNITID = $this->input->post('unitid');

When I am 100% there is a value; is there an error with input->post in CI?

And this returns NULL of course

Code:

$this->UNITID = $_POST['unitid'];

I do notice in the log Global POST and COOKIE data is sanitized with every request:

Global POST and COOKIE data sanitized

Is that normal?

Thanks
