how to get all post data - El Forum - 08-05-2010

[eluser]Arun Joshi[/eluser]
I have a dynamically built form. And there is lot of controls. I cant define each controls name initially. In this case when I submit form, how can i get all the post data from that form?

similarly

Code:
var_dump($_POST);

.

I searched in the form. But cant find a solution for this.

Thanks
Arun

You may find this command helpful

Code:
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

This will output every query, $_REQUEST variable, memory, time, uri. Very helpful for developing. You can using something like

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

//or

foreach($this->input->post() as $key => $val)

{

  echo "<p>Key: ".$key. " Value:" . $val . "</p>\n";

}

You can't call the post() method that way, you can't iterate over it using a foreach either.

post() requires an index name, if not given (of if it doesn't exist), it returns FALSE, which is probably what your var_dump() output is showing.

What you can do is:

Code:
$post = array();

foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value )

{

    $post[$key] = $this->input->post($key);

}

var_dump($post);

Would be a handy addition to the Input library...

I use this extension of the Input class. The code is similar to WanWizard's. Just place the code in a file application/core/MY_Input.php.

Code:
&lt;?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

    function dump_post()

    {

        $post = array();

        foreach ( array_keys($_POST) as $key )

        {

            $post[$key] = $this->post($key);

        }

        echo '<pre>'; var_dump($post); echo '</pre>';

    }

}

and call by inserting

Code:
$this->input->dump_post();

into your code.

CI 2.1.0

Code:
$data = $this->input->post(NULL, TRUE); // returns all POST items with XSS filter

$data = $this->input->post(); // returns all POST items without XSS filter

Sweet. That's one less file to add to each project. Thanks for the update.
