SIMPLE QUESTION: how to process form data from views in controller and send back to view

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
So this looks like a really simple problem to solve: I have some data that is collected in a form in the view, and I'd like to pass it as parameters to a controller function and send the return value back to the view for display. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Help!

I'd suggest that you start by looking through the form_validation library tutorial and see if that gets you going in the right direction.

form action is path to your controller and action (if you use form helper you can just use form_open('controller/path') ) Pass the post array to the other view ( $data['post'] = $_POST; ) via second view parameter. Access values for each $post array element with corresponding input name for key.

All this time and I'm still double-posting you nogdog.
