How to make a post request to a PHP server - php

Question

I know this is a duplicate question but I still need help with my code.
When I make a post request with postman it succeeds but when I use the flutter code it fails.
Any idea why?
So this is the flutter code to make the post request:
Future createQuote() async {
final response = await http.post(
Uri.parse('http://<myserver.com>/quotes/post.php'),
body: json.encode(
{
'quot': _quoteController.text,
'teller': _tellerController.text,
},
),
);
if (response.statusCode == 200 && response.body == 'success') {
print('s: ' + response.body);
// Navigator.pop(context);
} else {
print(response.body);
var test = jsonEncode(
{
'quot': _quoteController.text,
'teller': _tellerController.text,
},
);
print(test);
// throw Exception('Failed to create quote');
}
}
And this is the php file:
require_once('db.php');
$stm = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO quots (quot, teller) VALUES (:quot, :teller)");
$stm->bindParam(':quot', $_POST['quot']);
$stm->bindParam(':teller', $_POST['teller']);
$quot = $_POST['quot'];
$teller = $_POST['teller'];
if ($stm->execute()) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "failure: ". $_POST['quot'] . $teller;
};

There is no need to jsonEncode the post body, use it as a plain Map.
final response = await http.post(
Uri.parse('http://<myserver.com>/quotes/post.php'),
body:
{
'quot': _quoteController.text,
'teller': _tellerController.text,
},
);
