There is little documentation on what are best practices to read form field values in the postProcess hook. I have found you can use:
- the $_POST array
- $form->getVar('_submitValues'), which returns an array similar to $_POST
- $form->getElement('foo')->getValue(), which returns individual field values

Which is the more reliable / recommended?

Thanks.

PS. I will update the corresponding wiki page with the answer.

In the past I have been told to use the exportValues function. I could have sworn I updated the wiki at the time but I don't see it now.
It must have been lost during a version update.
