I am posting a simple form in codeigniter. When I submit the form and echo the $_POST array, it shows me the following:
Array
(
[first_name] => First Name
[last_name] => Last Name
[zip] => Zip Code
[phone] => Phone
[email] => e-mail
[area_interest] =>
[terms] => terms
[x] => 14
[y] => 8
)
The last two fields are really mysterious. I don’t know from where they are coming.
Any ideas?
This is my form code:
<?PHP
$attributes=array('method'=>'post');
echo form_open('request-information',$attributes);?>
<table height="180" width="220">

<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" class="form-text1 inputfieldform1" value="First Name" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='First Name'" onFocus="if(this.value =='First Name' ) this.value=''" style="width:95px;" />
