Codeigniter get post data

Codeigniter get post data : $this->input->post(‘field_name’); is used for getting data from post method.

Syntax : Codeigniter get post data


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

Suppose we have a simple form :

<? echo form_open('Mycontroller/saveme', array('method'=>'post')); ?>

<? echo form_input('name'); ?>

<? echo form_submit('submit','Submit Me');  ?>

<? echo form_close(); ?>

Suppose our controller is :

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Mycontroller extends CI_Controller {

          
      public function saveme(){
           echo $this->input->post('name');

          
       }
}

which will print the name posted from the form using post method
