// This can be removed if you use __autoload() in config.php OR use Modular Extensions

    function user_post()
    {
        //$this->some_model->updateUser( $this->get('id') );
        $message = array('id' => $this->get('id'), 'name' => $this->post('name'), 'email' => $this->post('email'), 'message' => 'ADDED!');

        else
        {

        }
    }


    public function send_post()
    {
        var_dump($this->request->body);
    }


    public function send_put()
    {
        var_dump($this->put('foo'));
    }
}

Just change to this code

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
