How to get a JSON in a POST request in PHP - php

Question

The issue is, that I am sending a JSON file in a POST request but i don't know how to get the data from the request itself
Here is the python script that sends the POST request:
import json
import httplib
filepath = 'example.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
line = fp.readline()
line2 = fp.readline(9)
jsonbaloo = {}
jsonbaloo["name"] = line
jsonbaloo["score"]= line2
result = json.dumps(jsonbaloo)
def post_dict():
headers = {"Content-type": "application/json", "Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection('altrevista.org')
conn.request("POST", "/", result, headers)
post_dict()
I want to get the JSON data server side, so I can put it on an SQL database, but I can't program in PHP.
PHP SCRIPT:
<?php
function detectRequestBody() {
$rawInput = fopen('php://input', 'r');
$tempStream = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
stream_copy_to_stream($rawInput, $tempStream);
rewind($tempStream);
return $tempStream;
}
?>

Answer 1

conn.read() to get the response back

Answer 2

Since you're writing to a file, you can read from the file using PHP with fopen() or file_get_contents().
Using fopen():
$fileHandle = fopen("path/to/example.txt", "r");
Using file_get_contents():
$fileString = file_get_contents("path/to/example.txt");

Answer 3

You should receive the data using file_get_contents (php://input stream) and convert it to an array using json_decode.
// Retrieve the Post JSON data
$input = file_get_contents('php://input');
// Convert to json to array
$array = json_decode($input, true);
// View the content of the array
print_r($array);
