The code above adds a lot of functionality.

Retrieve the Data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

First, we use the :doc:`IncomingRequest <../incoming/incomingrequest>`
object ``$this->request``, which is set in the controller by the framework.

We get the necessary items from the **POST** data by the user and set them in the
``$data`` variable.

Validate the Data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You'll use the Controller-provided helper function :ref:`validate() <controller-validate>` to validate the submitted data.
Next, you'll use the Controller-provided helper function
:ref:`validateData() <controller-validatedata>` to validate the submitted data.
In this case, the title and body fields are required and in the specific length.

CodeIgniter has a powerful validation library as demonstrated
above. You can read more about the :doc:`Validation library <../libraries/validation>`.
