Passing data to a model as array

[eluser]Corbee[/eluser]
Hi,

Just wondering is it possible to make this an array

Code:

$sessionid = getSessionID();
            $example1= $this->input->post('example1');
            $example2= $this->input->post('example2');
            $example3= $this->input->post('example3');
            $example4= $this->input->post('example4');
            $example5= $this->input->post('example5');
            
$this->MExample->insertexample(example1,example2,example3,example4,example5);

Like put all the post into $data[] then pass it to the database like this

Code:

$this->MExample->insertexample($data);

so that I could pass it to another parts of the function, such as loading the view

Code:

$this->load->view('example',$data);

Thanks

Code:

$data = array($this->input->post('example1'),$this->input->post('example2'),$this->input->post('example3'),$this->input->post('example4'),$this->input->post('example5'));

$this->MExample->insertexample($data);

Untested, but should work.

Why not just set the $_POST as an argument into model and then retrieve by index inside model.

One of reasons I could think of is because $this->input->post() filters for malicious data in your post, so avoiding it creates some risk.

You could also do a foreach of post.

Code:

foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
$newarray[$key]=$this->input->post($value);
}

Would get the benefit o having it auto as well as the filtering of the input class.
