not getting the angularjs post data in controller (codeigniter)

Question

I am making a HTTP request to a url, in which the data is getting post in request headers, but when I am fetching it in controller using the $this->input->post, it is showing blank.

Angularjs code :

//Code to send email of quiz results
$scope.processresult=function(){
    $http({
       method:"POST",
       url:"http://localhost/quizci/admin/sendresultemail/",
       data:{
           "riskscore":$scope.datascore
       },
   })
   .success(function (data) {

       if (!data.success) {
       // if not successful, bind errors to error variables
           $scope.errorName = data.errors.name;
           $scope.errorSuperhero = data.errors.superheroAlias;
       } 
       else {
           // if successful, bind success message to message
           $scope.message = data.message;
       }
   });
}

Controller Function :

 function sendresultemail(){
         $from_email = "[email protected]"; 
//         $to_email = $this->input->post('email'); 
         $to_email = "[email protected]"; 

         $this->load->model('user_model');
         // $result = $this->user_model->get_user_by_id($this->session->userdata($sess_array['id']));
         echo "risk score =".$this->input->post('riskscore');
         exit;
         //Load email library 
         $this->load->library('email'); 

         $this->email->from($from_email, 'ERMS'); 
         $this->email->to($to_email);
         $this->email->subject('Email Test'); 
         $this->email->message($_POST); 

         //Send mail 
         if($this->email->send()){
           $this->session->set_flashdata("email_sent","Email sent successfully.");    
         } 
         else {
             $this->session->set_flashdata("email_sent","Error in sending Email."); 
             $this->load->view('admindash');

         }

    }

Refer below images, in

you can see the data in request payload, but in the response it is showing blank

Sometimes codeigniter fails to get the post data. One solution that worked for me was to set $_POST manually using the following step:

 $_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true);

then run the $this->input->post() function.

Hope that it helps some people.

You should return back json in CI not by echo its value.

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode( $arr );

In addition, please don't use success in angular since it is deprecate, use then instead.

 $http({
        method:"POST",
        url:"http://localhost/quizci/admin/sendresultemail/",
        data:{
              "riskscore":$scope.datascore
         },
        })
       .then(function (resp) {
              var response = rest.data;
              // any code here
 });

You didn't mention header content type.

$scope.processresult=function(){
                    $http({
                        method:"POST",
                       url:"http://localhost/quizci/admin/sendresultemail/",
                       headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
                        data:{
                            "riskscore":$scope.datascore
                        },
                    })

In php.. ex..

public function store()
{
    $this->load->database();
    $_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
    $posts = $this->input->post();
    $this->db->insert('posts', $posts);
}

i tried adding header earlier, but it gives "Disallowed Key Characters." error in CI , hence I removed that.

change headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, and php $obj=json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
