No $_POST data

[eluser]justinm715[/eluser]
I'm actually experiencing a very similar problem.

Here is a test form:

Code:

<form method="post" action="invest/processInvestInterest">
    <input type="text" name="word" />
    <input type="hidden" name="submitAttempted" value="true" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="go" />
</form>

That action goes to this function in my Invest controller (as you'd expect from the 'action' above:

Code:

function processInvestInterest()
{
    echo "foo test <br />";
    print_r($_POST);
}

When I type something like 'blah blah' or '[email protected]' this always returns:

foo test
Array ( )

The $_POST array is empty! I've tried this in a non-CI environment and the $_POST variables are being sent/received just fine.

Is something wrong with CI?
