How to send complete POST to Model in Code Igniter
- by Constant M
Hi there,
What would be the best way to send a complete post to a model in Code Igniter? Methods I know are as follow:
Name form elements as array, eg.
<input type="text" name="contact[name]">
<input type="text" name="contact[surname]">
and then use:
$this->Model_name->add_contact($this->input->post('contact'));
The other would be to add each element to an array and then send it to the model as such:
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="surname">
and
$contact_array = array('name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'surname' => $this->input->post('surname'));
$this->Model_name->add_contact($this->input->post('contact'));
Which one of these would be best practice, and is there a way to directly send a whole POST to a model (or a whole form maybe?)
