how to send the JSON also from the PHP API - php

Question

I'm sending a text push from the php API code successfully, but I wonder how to send the JSON also from the PHP API
My problem is that when I send JSON from the PHP API code it received like like a "message" type.
When i send the same JSON code from the parse control panel it works fine
I so some hint to send "uri" key in the data, but it didn't help.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
this is the PHP code that i'm using
<?php
$APPLICATION_ID = "gggggggggggggggg";
$REST_API_KEY = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
//$MESSAGE = "your-alert-message";
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$errors = array();
foreach (array('app' => 'APPLICATION_ID', 'api' => 'REST_API_KEY', 'body' => 'MESSAGE') as $key => $var) {
if (empty($_POST[$key])) {
$errors[$var] = true;
} else {
$$var = $_POST[$key];
}
}
if (!$errors) {
$url = 'https://api.parse.com/1/push';
if(strstr($MESSAGE,"{")){ //json
$data['data_type']='json';
//$MESSAGE = json_decode($MESSAGE);
}
//, 'uri' => $MESSAGE
$data = array(
'channel' => 'test1',
'type' => 'android',
'expiry' => 1451606400,
'data_type' => 'json',
'data' =>array(
'alert'=> "the link2",
'uri' => $MESSAGE
),
'uri' => $MESSAGE
);
//var_dump( $data );die;
//if(strstr($MESSAGE,"{")) //json
//$data['data_type']='json';
$_data = json_encode($data);
//var_dump( $_data );die;
$headers = array(
'X-Parse-Application-Id: ' . $APPLICATION_ID,
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ' . $REST_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($_data)
);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
}
}
?>
In the parse.com website there is a tool that you can send PUSH and in this tool you can send push with 2 types: plain text, or JSON.
it's look like that
When I try to send push with this parse.com tool in both types it works fine and I get the push properly
But, when I try to send to push from my PHP API code as a "JSON" I always got it as a "plain text"
What am I'm doing wrong ?

Answer 1

It depends on your JSON structure for example i want to send this:
{
"data": {
"date": "2015-12-09",
"message": "and when you open this we will show you a message.",
"title": "6 Notice Click On It :)))",
"url": ""
},
"is_background": false
}
and in your php you should send like this:
$data = array(
'where' => '{}', // send to all users
// 'channels' => '{my_channel_name}',
'data' => array(
'is_background'=>false,
'data'=>array(
'date'=>'2015-12-09',
'message'=>'and when you open this we will show you a message',
'title'=>' Notice Click On It',
'url'=>''
),
),
);
