I can not post data using PHP - php

Question

I used this code but I get always empty result I don't know why
if (isset($_POST['uname'], $_POST['password'])){
$uname = test_input($_POST['uname']);
$pw = test_input($_POST['password']);
$data = array(
"loginEmail" => $uname,
"loginPassword" => $pw,
"clientURI" => "https://hk2.notify.windows.com/?token=AwYAAAC2bng45wHDpXWajWLTxGM1gxP1DcLlHTL8%2bhOfKVbkpYjl1U9tnUGrW4FSmwuiiWPKEyvSUoO5v9nfzFWZ097kdUeN8xDpAlp96Ilk3LCSN0sQNFuyU%3d"
);
$url_send ="https://dev-frontserver.com/api/login";
$str_data = json_encode($data);
$headers = array("Content-Type: application/json");
function sendPostData($url, $post, $headers){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
echo "result = " .sendPostData($url_send, $str_data, $headers);*/
}
Any idea what is wrong with my code ? I tried the api in https://www.hurl.it and it work but I can not get it to work in my code.
Here are the returned data from `curl_getinfo($ch);'
array (size=26)
'url' => string 'https://dev-fronapp.com/api/login' (length=47)
'content_type' => string 'application/json; charset=utf-8' (length=31)
'http_code' => int 200
'header_size' => int 268
'request_size' => int 384
'filetime' => int -1

'redirect_count' => int 0
'total_time' => float 2.14
'namelookup_time' => float 0
'connect_time' => float 0.344

array (size=0)
empty
'primary_port' => int 443
'local_ip' => string '' (length=12)
'local_port' => int 10484

Your modify code and changes made are
CURL SSL verifier is set to false
JSON error handling
API runtime exceptions
return values if api status is 1/200/ok/true.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['uname'], $_POST['password'])){
$uname = test_input($_POST['uname']);
$pw = test_input($_POST['password']);
$data = array(
"loginEmail" => $uname,
"loginPassword" => $pw,
"clientURI" => "https://hk2.notify.windows.com/?token=AwYAAAC2bng45wHDpXWajWLTxGM1gxP1DcLlHTL8%2bhOfKVbkpYjl1U9tnUGrW4FSmwuiiWPKEyvSUoO5v9nfzFWZ097kdUeN8xDpAlp96Ilk3LCSN0sQNFuyU%3d"
);
$url_send ="https://dev-frontserver.com/api/login";
$str_data = json_encode($data);
$headers = array("Content-Type: application/json");
echo "result = " .sendPostData($url_send, $str_data, $headers);
}
function sendPostData($url, $post, $headers){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,http_build_query($post));
//avoid checking ssl verifier
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if($result === false) {
throw new \RuntimeException(
'API call failed with cURL error: ' . curl_error($ch)
);
}
curl_close($ch);
$apiResponse = json_decode($result, true);
// Make sure we got back a well-formed JSON string and that there were no errors when decoding it
$jsonError = json_last_error();
if($jsonError !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
throw new \RuntimeException(
'API response not well-formed (json error code: ' . $jsonError . ')'
);
}
// Print out the response details
if($apiResponse['status'] === 1)//check field where
{
// No errors encountered
return $result;
}
else {
// An error occurred
die("Error:");//show error message from api
}
}
?>
Please test code and let me know if any modifications needed
