Question

i was wondering if i can get a variable with $_post, in a kohana controller if the controller doesn’t ‘control’ a form.

So, if i insert in a view something like:

 <form name="ordering" id="ordering" method="post" action="">
 <input type="hidden" id="ordering" value="0">  
 <select id="ordering" name="ordering">   
....

in the controller i put :

        $ordering = $_POST['ordering']; 

but gives me an error

or

       if ($this->request->method == 'POST') {    
        $ordering = $_POST['ordering'];
    }

but in this case it never gets there(at this bunch of code).

so my question is: how can i retrieve in a controller a $_post variable if the controller doesn’t handle only a form? thank you!

Kohana 3.0 :

if ($_POST)
{
$ordering = arr::get($_POST, 'ordering');
...

Kohana 3.1 :

if ($ordering = $this->request->post('ordering')) // or just $this->request->post()
{
...
