CodeIgniter 1.7.2 POST Issue

Question

I am sending a form via POST method on CodeIgniter 1.7.2 yet when I var_dump($_SERVER) on the receiving method on the controller the REQUEST_METHOD is GET , any clue why? feels like an htaccess issue.

Answer 1

There are several ways to POST

CodeIgniter

echo form_open('email/send');

Html form

<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" action="http:/example.com/index.php/email/send" />

Using ajax

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: url,
   data: data,
   success: success,
   dataType: dataType
});

You could use CodeIgniter input

$this->input->post('somethig');
