form POST array issue in codeigniter

Question

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">
<tr>
    <td>
        <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;" />
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" class="form-text1 inputfieldform1" value="Last Name" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Last Name'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Last Name' ) this.value=''" style="width:95px;" />
    </td>
    </tr>
 <tr>
     <td>
       <input type="text" id="zip_code" name="zip" class="form-text1 inputfieldform1" value="Zip Code" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Zip Code'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Zip Code' ) this.value=''" style="width:95px;"/>
      </td>
     <td>
       <input type="text" id="phone_number" class="form-text1 inputfieldform1" value="Phone" onBlur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Phone'" onFocus="if(this.value =='Phone' ) this.value=''" style="width:95px;" name="phone"/>
      </td>
 </tr>

The X and Y variables are coming from the image input.

These are the coordinates where the user has clicked on.

is there any way to remove this?

Yan Berk Over a year ago

use unset($POST['x']) and unset($POST['y']) if you must. You can simply ignore these values.

Edit it by placing '/'

 <input type="image" src="<?PHP echo base_url();?>/images/frontend/bg/search_button1.png">

and i think x,y are co-ordinates of the image as @Yan says
