Codeigniter $this->input->post() empty while $_POST is working correctly

You can check, if your view looks something like this (correct):

<form method="post" action="/controller/submit/">

vs (doesn't work):

<form method="post" action="/controller/submit">

Second one here is incorrect, because it redirects without carrying over post variables.

Explanation:

When url doesn't have slash in the end, it means that this points to a file.

Now, when web server looks up the file, it sees, that this is really a directory and sends a redirect to the browser with a slash in the end.

Browser makes new query to the new URL with slash, but doesn't post the form contents. That's where the form contents are lost.

php codeigniter post

Try This, change

$config['base_url'] = 'http://mywebsite.cl/';

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.mywebsite.cl/';

Some provider auto add www , https , etc to your url, most of the times, this causes this issue

php codeigniter post

To use $this->input->post() initialize the form helper. You could do that by default in config.
