Hi, I’m new to CodeIgniter. I’m sending data to an API, and wondering what the best way to send an HTTP POST is? Thanks for any help.

Easiest way is through a form in a view using:

There is no specific support in CI that I have seen that supports HTTP POST like you’re looking to use it.  The best route for you to start with is looking into cURL or a custom HTTP library that you can import depending on cURL support at your hosting provider.  More information about cURL can be found on http://www.php.net

and this is how to do it using php
