<thead>
<tr>
<th>Student Name</th>
<th>Book Name</th>
<th>Issue Date</th>
<th>Expiry Date</th>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Edit</th>
<th>Delete</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
&lt;?php
$slno=0;
foreach($this->issuelist as $key => $value) {
$slno++;
?&gt;
<tr>
<td>&lt;?php echo $value['student_name']; ?&gt;</td>
<td>&lt;?php echo $value['book_name']; ?&gt;</td>
<td>&lt;?php echo CovertDate($value['issue_dt']); ?&gt;</td>
<td>&lt;?php echo CovertDate($value['expiry_dt']); ?&gt;</td>

Firstly, you don't have an html form, so I'm not sure what you're expecting to "post". Generally, to post data to a controller you'd do something like this in your view:

Code:

<form name="input" acti echo base_url('news/add');?>" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="title"><br>
    <input type="text" name="body"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Add News">
</form>

And this in your controller:

Code:

class News extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function add() {

        if ($this->input->post()) {
            $title = $this->input->post('title');
            $body = $this->input->post('body');

            //Do whatever else you want like saving to a db.
    }
}

If you're looking to pass say, an id, to delete a record or somesuch, you'd do something like this in your view:

Code:

<a href="&lt;?php echo base_url('news/delete/' . $id);?&gt;">Delete</a>

And something like this in your controller:

Code:

function delete($id = null) {

    //Do something here with the $id like check if the record exists and delete it
}
