Answer 1

in action root to controller then in controller get the post method and add your sms function.
?>
<form method="Post" action= "settings/sendSms">
<input type="hidden"
name="<?php echo $this->security->get_csrf_token_name()?>"
value="<?php echo $this->security->get_csrf_hash()?>">
<?php
echo '<input type="hidden" name="username" value = "09172030433"/><br />';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="password" value ="Oynar1234" /><br />';
echo '<input type="text" name="to" class="form-control test-phone" placeholder="'._l('staff_add_edit_phonenumber').'" /><br />';
echo '<textarea type="text" name="text" class="form-control sms-gateway-test-message" placeholder="'._l('test_sms_message').'" ></textarea><br />';
echo '<input type="text" name="From" class="form-control" value = "5000203069627" /><br />';
echo '<input type ="submit" name="sendSms" class="btn btn-info send-test-sms" value = "'._l('send_test_sms').'" />';
echo '</form>';
in controller:
public function sendSms(){
//var_dump($_POST);exit;
if (isset($_POST) ){
//send sms
}
