Checking if a request is POST?

[quote author="heavenquake" date="1266739418"]input->post is not a controller method, but a method of the input library ( http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...input.html ).

In CodeIgniter you extend core libraries (such as input) by placing a file called MY_Input.php in your libraries folder, with the following prototype:

Code:

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

//your extended code here

}

while still calling it with $this->input->post() as you normally would. more on that here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...asses.html

in your case it would be something alá:

Code:

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

    function post($index = '', $xss_clean = FALSE)
    {
        // this will be true if post() is called without arguments
        if($index === '')
        {
            return ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST');
        }
        
        // otherwise do as normally
        return parent::post($index, $xss_clean);
    }
}

thank you very much for this extension,it's more like CI style.

I used to use this:

Code:

if($_POST)
{
   // do something
}
