codeignigter use rest to pass data to external site - php

Question

OK in plain PHP I use the following to pass data to a GET
file_get_contents('https://ws.mysite.com/some.svc/here?userID=' . $session_id . '&score=' . $percentilescore . '&assessmentID=' . $testID . '&assessmentTitle=some');
I now want to apply this same piece of code to my CI project.
This Is how I have tried.
private function getResults()
{
$score = $this->actions->getSentEmailCount();
$percentilescore = $percentile = $this->actions->getPercentile($score);
$testID = '134';
$percentile = $this->actions->getPercentile($score);
$time = $this->input->get('time');
$timemath = 60000;
$timeinmseconds = $time * $timemath;
$adddata = array(
'uniID' => '5',
'testName' => 'some',
'testID' => $testID,
'total' => '10',
'correct' => $score = $this->actions->getScore(),
'percent' => $score = $this->actions->getScore(),
'dateTaken' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'timeSpent' => $timeinmseconds,
'userID' => $session_id,
);
$this->actions->add_record($adddata);
return $this->load->view('client/results', $data);
file_get_contents('https://ws.mysite.com/123.svc/some?userID=' . $session_id . '&score=' . $percentilescore . '&assessmentID=' . $testID . '&assessmentTitle=some');
}
It is not posting the data any idea why and how I should do it in CI ?

Answer 1

return should be the last statement in the function because it's immediately ends execution of the current function. Just put file_get_contents before return:
file_get_contents('https://ws.mysite.com/123.svc/some?userID=' . $session_id . '&score=' . $percentilescore . '&assessmentID=' . $testID . '&assessmentTitle=some');
$this->actions->add_record($adddata);
return $this->load->view('client/results', $data);
