Post JSON to Codeigniter controller

Question

I am trying to receive and parse a JSON object sent in a POST request using Codeigniter but I cannot \"find\" it.

This is my controller code:

public          


        

Answer 1

Are you sure you're POSTing the data and not doing a GET instead? I ran into this issue earlier today (which is how I found this question) and I was doing a POST but using JSONP which seems to be done with a GET.

CodeIgniter has a function called get_post that will get the data from wherever it happens to be.

$this->input->get_post_string('data'); 

I hope this helps you out.

You can do it manually like so if you'd like.

function get_post($index = '', $xss_clean = FALSE){
    if ( ! isset($_POST[$index]) )
    {
        return $this->get($index, $xss_clean);
    }
    else
    {
        return $this->post($index, $xss_clean);
    }
}
