Passing parameters from a view to a model

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Thanks for your answer. I still don't understand it complety though...

How do I tell the controller what value to pass to field1 from the view?

Say I have a for loop in my view

Code:

for($i=1; $i<123;$i++){
$dada = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM ijij Where id = ' . $i);
//Thats what I want to do from the controller/model
}

how would I do that from the controller? Is this a job for the helpers or...?
