POST data while when getting JSON with SwiftyJSON - ios

Question

I'm developing an iOS app with Xcode and Swift.
I'm getting JSON data with SwiftyJSON.swift and the following code:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var dict = NSDictionary()
#IBOutlet weak var firstLb: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var secondLb: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let urlString = "http://example.com/showUserInfo.php"
if let url = NSURL(string: urlString) {
if let data = try? NSData(contentsOfURL: url, options: []) {
let json = JSON(data: data)
print(json)
let f = json[0]["name"].stringValue
let s = json[0]["age"].stringValue
firstLb.text = f
secondLb.text = s
}
}
}
}
That works fine but I want to be able to post to my PHP script. (My PHP script is ready for it. It can receive POST data and handle it.)
I normally use the following code to POST data to PHP:
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://example.com/showUserInfo.php")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let postString = "username=MyUserName"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
That means: I know how to get data with JSON and I know how to POST a value to PHP. But unfortunately I'm not able to combine both.
Does anybody know how to combine them? How to POST a value to a PHP script where getting the JSON data?

To post data to Server you should use In-build APIs, or you can use a very famous library called : Alamofire
Sample Code:
let params:[String:AnyObject] = [
"foo" : 1,
"bar" : 2
]
request(.POST, "URL", parameters: params)
.responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .Success(let JSON):
print("JSON: \(JSON)")
case .Failure(let error):
print("Request failed with error: \(error)")
}
}
