validated form values

[eluser]bennyhill[/eluser]
I did the example on form validation in the documentation. Now I want to send the array of cleaned, validated, and prepped data to an insert function. What array is the validated values stored in? In other words, what should I pass to the insert function? Are the validated and prepped values put back in the $_POST array?

I think it is the POST array. Thanks.

I think there are 3 options, all should have the same data:

Code:

$this->input->post('name')

or

Code:

$_POST['name']

or

Code:

$this->validation->name
