Answer 1

Another way to access post data in Kohana

$username = Arr::get($_POST, 'username', 'default_username');

Answer 2

In Kohana 3.1 you should use Request->post():

Request::current()->post()

or if in your controller:

$this->request->post()

Since Kohana is HMVC, you can call sub-requests with dedicated post data, so using the superglobal $_POST is discouraged, since it's not unique to the request.

Also you can use $this->request->post($key) to get $_POST[$key] if exists – Barram

Although it isn't relevant to this question, I came here looking for request data in general regarding Kohana, and I discovered that $this->request->query() is the GET version of post() and just thought I'd mention it for anyone in my situation. :) – Quiles

Answer 3

       function action_add()
   {
    $tpl =& $this->template;

    // Add companies
    $company_orm = ORM::factory('company');
    $company_orm->values($_POST);

    if ( $company_orm->check() )  //Validation Check
    {
        if ( $company_orm->save() )
        {
            // Inserting data
        }
        else
        {

            // Error
        }
    }
    else
    {
            // Validation Failed
    }

}

Small Example. You can implement all the validations in the model using protected.
