I have created a simple Rest webservice with Codeigniter.
When i send post data with Curl from another application and display $_POST is empty.
Simple PHP client:
$url = 'http://localhost/ci-access/api_v1/register_events';
$data = array(
'name' => 'tester'
);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Codeigniter webservice:
public function register_events() {
die(var_dump($_POST));
}
Is there an option to set in Codeigniter ?
How can i read posted data ?
try pass php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); option first or remove it.

I have rest API of Nodejs Server, I'm trying to make a POST call to it using PHP.
My php code is:
function post_url($apiRoute,$data) {
$request_url = 'http://test-app.herokuapp.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url . $apiRoute);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
echo $data ;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
I have tried calling this function with diff forms of data:
$g = array("_id" => "111");
$postapiresponse = post_url('/CCTRequest/get',json_encode($g));
OR
$postapiresponse = post_url('/CCTRequest/get',json_encode(array("_id" => "111"));
But on server side which Node.js, when I console log req.body I get data like this:
{ '{"_id":"111"}': '' }
How should I pass the data in PHP so I can get proper obj in node.js i.e:
{ '_id': '111' }
See the PHP document:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
CURLOPT_POST:
TRUE to do a regular HTTP POST. This POST is the normal
application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, most commonly used by HTML forms.
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS:
If value is an array, the Content-Type header will be set to multipart/form-data.
So you can pass a query string returned by http_build_query() into CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS:
post_url('/CCTRequest/get', http_build_query($g, null, '&'));
and remove curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));. (In fact, the varieble should be $ch, but you typed $curl, so this line doesn't work.)
In the other way, you can replace curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');, it can prevent the data be encoded automaticlly. And then send json_encode() data.
I have solved by using http_build_query($g, null, '&') for making data.
$g = array("_id" => "111");
$g = http_build_query($g, null, '&');
$postapiresponse = post_url('/CCTRequest/get', $g);
You have a typo in the code, which will prevent it setting the header $curl should be $ch:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
You also need CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER uncommented.
function post_url($apiRoute, $data) {
$request_url = 'www.example.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url . $apiRoute);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type:application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
I want to check all of the requested urls and if the url contains "video" folder in it, redirect it to an API file. then the API gives me a json files which only contains "respond:true" or "respond:false". In case of having respond:true in the json file the url must be showed and if the json file contains respond:false a predefined simple 403 page must be showed to the user.
I know that the fist part is possible with a simple code in .htaccess file like this:
RewriteRule ^your/special/folder/ /specified/url [R,L]
But I don't know how to do the second part. I mean how to get the result of API, which is in form of a json file and check it.
You can use CURL..
GET REQUEST
$url = 'http://example.com/api/products';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response_json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$response=json_decode($response_json, true);
POST REQUEST
$postdata = array(
'name' => 'Arfan'
);
$url = "https://example.com/api/user/create";
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$json_response = curl_exec($curl);
$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($curl);
You can also use file_get_content to get API data.
$json = file_get_contents("$url")
You can execute second part (Calling API and response): Call API using curl and process based on its response:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "api_url_here");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$api_response_json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//convert json to PHP array for further process
$api_response_arr = json_decode($api_response_json);
if($api_response_arr['respond'] == true ){
//code for success here
}else{
// code for false here
}
Please note: Json response from API is depend on API Response, If API is giving response in json format ( can be based on params also ).
Hi there I never develop in php but I have to create a small function to do a post request to my meteor node application. The end point works fine I have been testing it. I am trying to use the post request to get my login token back. Providing username and password it should return json data even it is incorrect it returns json data saying login refused.
It seem noting is happening tho. My return data seems to always be null.
As I said I never really used php nore do I plan on using it much. But here is my code probably very easy mistake to fix.
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
$params = array(
"username" => "apilogin",
"password" => "12345"
);
echo httpPost("http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/login", $params);
function httpPost($url,$params)
{
$postData = http_build_query($params);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($postData));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));
$output=curl_exec($ch);
// Check for errors
if($output === FALSE){
echo "false";
die(curl_error($ch));
}
// Decode the response
$output = json_decode($response, TRUE);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
?>
change:
$output = json_decode($response, TRUE);
into:
$output = json_decode($output, TRUE);
you never made a variable $response
i try to send data with this code (in page named send.php)
$data = array("name" => "Reda", "age" => "36");
$post = http_build_query($data);
$ch = curl_init('http://127.0.0.1/testcurl.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($response);
and grab it with this code (in page named testcurl.php):
if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
print_r($_POST['name']);
}
but i get nothing or an empty array like this array ()
can any one help me please
I have created a file on bluehost server test.php and used this file send curl request from another server ( godaddy ).
$url = 'http://dev.testserver.com/test.php';
$data_string = json_encode($fields);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string );
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
How to capture posted data on test.php and process it ?
I am trying with $_POST but its showing blank.
The question is close to this one How to send raw POST data with cURL? (PHP)
I've slightly modified your client code to follow recommendations:
<?php
$fields = ['a' => 'aaaa', 'b' => 'bbbb'];
$url = 'http://localhost/test.php';
$data_string = json_encode($fields);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, urlencode($data_string));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
$curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
echo 'Response: '.$curl_response.PHP_EOL;
I do urlencode for the sent data and set headers.
The logic how to read data is explained in the question How to get body of a POST in php? I made a simple test.php file with the following code
<?php
$body = file_get_contents('php://input');
if (!empty($body)) {
$data = json_decode(urldecode($body), true);
var_export($data);
}
We read the data, decode it and parse JSON.
As one might expect the test output from the client script is the following
$ php client.php
Response: array (
'a' => 'aaaa',
'b' => 'bbbb',
)
Try to replace this, direct send array not json
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string );
With
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields );
