fetch data in $_POST variable in angularjs - php

Question

i wish to post data to a php file using angularjs. I referred to the following link:
http://www.cleverweb.nl/javascript/a-simple-search-with-angularjs-and-php/
i tried the same example given in the link but the data is posted in JSON format. I want the data in $_POST variable. how do i do that?
here's my code:
search.js
function SearchCtrl($scope, $http) {
$scope.url = 'php/search.php'; // The url of our search
// The function that will be executed on button click (ng-click="search()")
$scope.search = function() {
// Create the http post request
// the data holds the keywords
// The request is a JSON request. i want the data in $_POST
$http.post($scope.url, { "data" : $scope.keywords}).
success(function(data, status) {
$scope.status = status;
$scope.data = data;
$scope.result = data; // Show result from server in our <pre></pre> element
}).
error(function(data, status) {
$scope.data = data || "Request failed";
$scope.status = status;
});
};
}
search.php
<?php
// The request is a JSON request.
// We must read the input.
// $_POST or $_GET will not work! **but i want it to work!**
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
$objData = json_decode($data);
// perform query or whatever you wish, sample:
include 'connect.php';
mysql_select_db($database,$con);
$query = 'SELECT * FROM `product`';
$result = mysql_query($query) OR die(mysql_error());
$cnt = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$nm = $row['name'];
//print_r($nm.' ');
if($objData->data == $nm) {
$cnt++;
}
}
if($cnt == 0) {
echo ' Sorry, no match!';
}
else {
echo ' I have found what you\'re looking for!';
}
how do i solve it?

Answer 1

Just normal PHP:
$_POST['title'] or $_POST['content'];
You can do it ;-)
This is an anwser to the comment beneath the post beneath.

Answer 2

Here you go, you can access the variables in the php file as you normally would.
$http.post("yourpagehandler.php", {
// Values you with to send to php page
"title": $scope.title,
"content": $scope.content
}).success(function(data, status) {
// Values returned from php handler will be in data
}).error(function(data, status) {
$scope.data = data || "Request failed";
$scope.status = status;
});
