Hi

Using Codeigniter, how do I get and display, from my controller, all of the text a user entered into a text field on a view? I only get the first word, and nothing after the spaces.

Here are my form_validation rules

    $this->form_validation->set_rules(
'field_name','Field Name','trim|required|alpha_numeric|tolower|xss_clean');

And here is my controller

public function my_method() {
  if ($this->input->post()) {
    $name = $this->input->post('search');
    echo $name;
  }
}

and my view

?php echo form_open('my_controller/my_method'); ?>
<?php echo form_input('search'); ?>
<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Search'); ?>
