Assign a form field

[eluser]Jagar[/eluser]
Greetings everyone,

Is there anyway in Ci to assign a form field, for example in plain PHP you could do:

Code:

$_POST['fieldname'] = "something";

In CI doesn't work that way, is there any way to do that?

Thanks

[eluser]Jagar[/eluser]
Well I can do

Code:

$_POST['link'] = "result"

, but want to do CI way, if there's a way

CI is PHP. That's the way you should do it.

I understand that, and that's how I'm doing it, I thought maybe there's a way through

Code:

$this->input->post

Code:

$_POST['field'] = 'new value';

echo $this->input->post('field'); // outputs 'new_value'

I'm guess this is the CI way

All right thanks
