PHP , CODEIGNITER how to add from controller with hidden view - php

Question

I have problem that my input "type" is never post in database because I don't give input type in the view (I want value of my type is set by controller/hidden)... and this is my code
Controller :
<?php
public function addSmsCampaign() {
if (isset($_POST['addSmsCampaign'])) {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('campaign_name', 'campaign name', 'required|is_unique[campaigns.campaign_name]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('sequence_qty', 'sequence quantity', 'required|integer');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('label_id', 'label id', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('type', '', 'required');
//if form validation true
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE) {
$sms = 1;
$newcampaign = [
'campaign_name' => $_POST['campaign_name'],
'sequence_qty' => $_POST['sequence_qty'],
'label_id' => $_POST['label_id'],
'type' => $this->input->post('type'),
'created_at' => date('Y-m-d')
];
$this->db->insert('campaigns', $newcampaign);
redirect('userCont/sequenceform', 'refresh');
}
}
?>
and this is my view:
<form action="" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="campaign_name">Input Campaign Title </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="campaign_name" id="name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="sequence_qty">Sequence qty </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="sequence_qty" id="qty">
<input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="type" value="1">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="label_id">Choose Category</label>
<select class="form-control" name="label_id" id="label_id">
<?php
foreach ($label_content as $e) {
echo "<option value='$e->id;'>" . $e->label_name . "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
</div>
<div class="text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary form-control" value="1" name="addSmsCampaign type">next</button>
</div><hr>
</form>
every time I post value of type is default = 0, and I want set value to 1...
thanks a lot
