extract post

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I watched a great tutorial on youtube where a developer was able to instantly turn his post array into atomic variables by using

Code:

$this->extract($_POST).

However i get

Call to undefined method class-name::extract()

Any ideas why?

The tutorial was probably for an older version. CI 2.1 automatically extracts the post vars and they can be accessed using:

Code:

$this->input->post('var_name')

See the input class section of the user guide.
