Codeigniter $this->input->post() returning NULL

Question

I'm trying to use the inbuilt this->input->post('name') function when creating the Sign Up API in CodeIgniter, but this->input->post() returns an empty array.

I am using the same url on the browser and it works perfectly fine there but when I try to use it on Postman, it is returning null

I had tried:

print_r($_POST).

I had also used POST And GET Method but show nothing.

which also gives null

For testing purpose I created a function in which I used the form and post method to send data that worked fine on the browser but showed nothing on Postman.

**TESTING Function**
public function test()
{
    echo '<form method="POST"> <input name="name" ><input type="submit"> </form>';
    // print_r($_POST);
    die(var_dump($_POST));
}

CodeIgniter sometimes acts crazy while getting application/json post values. You can use

$_POST = file_get_contents('php://input');

You will get an array of post values received from Postman with Content-type: application/json header.

I have also used $_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true); this but it show nothing.
