Send Json from PHP to React Native - php

Question

So I have a josn object which has an array of objects which I want to send to a react native app through https but the problem is that I get null in react native
The code of the php :
<?php
class Product {
// Properties
public $title;
public $price;
}
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$ProductList =array();
$aa=$a->{'shopping_results'};
foreach($aa as $y => $y_value) {
$product = new Product();
$product->{'title'} = $y_value ->{'title'};
$product->{'price'} = $y_value ->{'price'};
array_push($ProductList,$product);
}
echo $x=json_encode(array('listx' => $ProductList),JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);// the JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE for the Arabic letters
?>
When I try to view the content of this json on the browser this is what I get

The react native code
await fetch(URL, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
// , body: JSON.stringify({ name: "tea" })
})
.then((response) => response.text()) //tried .json() got JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF
.then((responseJson) => {
console.log(responseJson);//This prints blank
console.log("hi");
this.setState({ output: responseJson });//nothing shows
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
Note: I tried to receive a text from HTTPs request and it worked (The connection is fine)

You need to set HTTP headers, methods in your PHP code so as to accept requests from your react native app (basically I'm telling you to implement REST APIs). If already implemented, just make sure you are giving the correct endpoint in your react-native's fetch URL. And one more thing, when you are trying to retrieve data from the server make sure to set method: 'GET'.
If you're a beginner/ don't have prior knowledge about REST APIs, then here's a reference for you : https://www.positronx.io/create-simple-php-crud-rest-api-with-mysql-php-pdo/ I'm sure it'll give you some basic idea about your need.
