title: How to get hidden value field in Codeigniter Controller Layer
body: <p>In Codeigniter PHP, I need to add a hidden field value to the database.</p>
  
  <p>In my View Layer, I have </p>
  
  <p><code>form_hidden(name,value);</code></p>
  
  <p>I need to add this to a table through my controller linking to my model.
  Normally, for text box inputs, to get values I use </p>
  
  <p><code>this-&gt;input-&gt;post('name')</code>. </p>
  
  <p>However for hidden values, this does not seem to work. Can anyone help me?</p>
