CodeIgniter sending POST data to specific URL - API data


Ok, posting answer for avoiding time lapse for searching solution in future

Target : Sending POST data to specific URL i.e. to API

Framework : Codeigniter

Solution :

Lets say the required data to pass is an array with name, email, password

$params= array(           "name" => $_name,           "email" => $_email,           "password" => $_pass        );$url = '192.168.100.51/AndroidApi/v2/register';echo '<br><hr><h2>'.$this->postCURL($url, $params).'</h2><br><hr><br>';

Function to Send data via POST to url : yes we will use cURL here

public function postCURL($_url, $_param){        $postData = '';        //create name value pairs seperated by &        foreach($_param as $k => $v)         {           $postData .= $k . '='.$v.'&';         }        rtrim($postData, '&');        $ch = curl_init();        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$_url);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($postData));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);            $output=curl_exec($ch);        curl_close($ch);        return $output;    }

To Test whether or Not cURL is available to use

echo (is_callable('curl_init')) ? '<h1>Enabled</h1>' : '<h1>Not enabled</h1>' ;

Thanks, and it is working very well with output as

Failure :

{"error":true,"message":"Email address is not valid"}

OR Success :

{"error":false,"message":"You are successfully registered"}
