Missing Post Value

[eluser]ci_user[/eluser]
Ok...totally strange. I'm sending the csrf_test_name value via ajax but I can not access it?

Code:

$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: "http://localhost/mycontroller",
cache: false,
data:  {
        email: $("#email").val(),
        csrf_test_name: $("input:hidden[name='csrf_test_name']").val()
},

At this point client side the value exists and I see it when I do:

Code:

alert($("input:hidden[name='csrf_test_name']").val());

Now in my controller for some reason the value is empty:

Code:

die($this->input->post('csrf_test_name'));

However, the email value is there:

Code:

die($this->input->post('email'));

If anybody can see a reason I can get the email value but not the csrf_test_name value I sure would appreciate it!

Not sure if it help but why don't you use id for the crsf_test_name like the email part? like

Code:

$('#crsf_test_name').val();

personally i like all my input have an id...

Nothing strange about this. Codeigniter checks that it matches what it expected and if so explicitly removes it from the POST array.

Thanks for that information. I didn't see that in the documentation anywhere. With csrf_protection enabled, if I open a form and then clear my session with firefox and submit the form, I get a server error page. I was trying to see if the crsf_test_name value matched so I could do something nicer than an ugly 500 error page. I guess that is not possible?
