How to pass data from a view to a controller?

I think you need to post more complete code, I just ran this:

Controller:

Code:

public function update_project() {
    echo $this->input->post("ProjectID");        
}
    
public function index() {
    echo form_open('test/update_project');
    echo form_hidden("ProjectID", "5");
    echo form_submit("submit", "submit");
    echo form_close();
}

Which, when I click submit, gives me an output of "5".
