I have a standard javascript ajax call where I'm setting the data: to json data.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: BaseUrl + "User/Login",
//url: BaseUrl + "User/Limit/1/2",
data: '{"apiKey":"c7089786-7e3a-462c-a620-d85031f0c826","appIDGiven":"200","userName":"matt2","password":"pass"}',
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error: function(request){
console.log(request);
},
});
I was trying to get the data in php $_POST["data"] this doesn't work.
However, data: 'test={"apiKey":"c7089786-7e3a-462c-a620-d85031f0c826","appIDGiven":"200","userName":"matt2","password":"pass"}' works.
I was wondering is it possibly my framework or anything like that preventing $_POST["data"] from working or is this just not possible at all? Or is there something else I could use to get that data?
EDIT:
So the framework YII and the extension Restfullyii has a method to get the data it is using one line
return json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true);
Which is getting all the data without the need for data= or {data: However it seems to be returning an array so Im accessing my properties like $data["userName"] where a true json object should be $data->["userName"]. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this am I getting array in this case because I'm really sending a json string? versus a json object?
EDIT x2:
So php is making it an assoc array because it is sending true to the json_decode..
I think problem with your code is in the line where you set data: '{....}'.
It should be in json format in order to be passed properly (though it also could be in string format but you'll need to parse it on the server side)
The code below should be working right:
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: BaseUrl + "User/Login",
data: {"apiKey":"c7089786-7e3a-462c-a620-d85031f0c826","appIDGiven":"200","userName":"matt2","password":"pass"},
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error: function(request){
console.log(request);
}
});
On the server side try: $_POST['apiKey'] $_POST['appIDGiven'] and so on.
data option must be an object or serialized(e.g. "name1=value1&name2=value2") string.So you need to pass like this:
data: /*object*/{data:'{"apiKey":"c7089786-7e3a-462c-a620-d85031f0c826","appIDGiven":"200","userName":"matt2","password":"pass"}'},
// ^-----this is added for $_POST["data"]
or like:
data: /*serialized string*/'data={"apiKey":"c7089786-7e3a-462c-a620-d85031f0c826","appIDGiven":"200","userName":"matt2","password":"pass"}',
// ^-----this is added for $_POST["data"]
First, the data sent must be a JSON object and not a string. Remove the quotes.
Also, in your server-side, you'll better decode the input $_POST['data'] with json_decode() (see documentaion)

I am looking for get json response from third party website. Its providing me json data when I call with ajax. Its fine. I am looking for pass same json data to my PHP file. so I can decode that json data and can store in MYSQL database. So for I am trying like this
<script>
$("#diary").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type:'get',
url:'https://example.com,
data:{
},
dataType:'json',
success:function(result){
console.log(result);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "dd.php",
data:result,
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
console.log(msg);
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
Its working for get data from third party site but in my php page, I am not receiving proper data so json_decode function not working. May be I am not posting correct json data to PHP page. I am not able to use CURL in PHP because its giving me connection error, its possible that third party site have some security function which does not allow me to connect via CURL so ajax is the only method for get data.
My PHP file is like below
<?php
$ajax = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
print_r($ajax);
?>
Let me know if anyone here can help me for solve my issue.
Thanks!
You need to call JSON.stringify() on the result and pass that through data in your ajax request. You are just sending a string that happens to be JSON data. In PHP you can call json_decode() on $_POST['data'] and you should have your data.
I'm using jstree on a project and attempting to save my tree to a database.
I'm obtaining the tree data as follows:
var tmp = $('#tree').jstree(true).get_json();
console.log(tmp);
This produces a JSON object in the console as I'd expect:
However when I post this to a PHP script using jquery...
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/saveTree',
data: {'tree': tmp},
success: function(msg) {
console.log(msg);
}
});
... It is showing a PHP array of my data:
The script which I have at /saveTree displays the POST data in the tree array post key:
var_dump($this->request->data['tree']);
I assumed since the data I'm posting to the script is in JSON format I'd need to json_decode() it at the other end? If not, why not?
I've also tried adding dataType: 'json', in the ajax request but that makes no difference.
What's happening here?
Please note the PHP script at /saveTree is running in CakePHP 2.x so the line of PHP above is equivalent to var_dump($_POST['tree']) in regular PHP.
If you want send the data as string you can JSON.stringify(tmp);
tmp = JSON.stringify(tmp);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/saveTree',
data: {'tree': tmp},
success: function(msg) {
console.log(msg);
}
});
Okay I think I am going mad because I have done this a million times before and now I can't make it work. I am doing an ajax post to a PHP script with some simple JSON and then returning the JSON from my PHP, however it is currently showing $_POST as an empty array.
Here is my js:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/account/book-promo.php",
data: '{"firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones"}',
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
And my PHP:
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
exit;
Firebug shows that my request is using POST as it is supposed to and my data is being sent as JSON yet I am getting a response of:
array(0) {
}
The only thing I can think is that there is some kind of server settings that are preventing this from working, however I cant think why there would be. Maybe I have missed a bracket or something, it is driving me mad!
Any and all suggestions welcome!
send it like if you want to send it as json.
data: { data : '{"firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones"}' },
and if you want to send it as POST just remove quotes '
data: {"firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones"},
You have to do this:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json", // <---------------its required if response is json
url: "/account/book-promo.php",
data: {"firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones"}, //<---instead of string send the object this way
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
You said in your post retuning the JSON from my PHP:
so you need to use dataType:"json" and the data you are sending to your php should be sent as object (which is usually to be pair of key and values separated by : like {key:value}) as of your code you are sending a string.
I'm using this function to send json to a php page:
function update_records(data) {
data = data;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
timeout: 2000,
contentType: 'application/json',
url: 'update.php',
data: data, //'data='+data+'&aid=0',
success: function() {
success_message('success');
},
error: function(){
failure_message('failure');
}
});
In firebug I can see the posted data:
[{
"postid": 66,
"values": [
"field_key=a",
"oldvalue=b",
"newvalue=c dad"
]
}]
On my php page how can I $_REQUEST the object? Or am I doing it all wrong?
i actually did solve this one using this code on my js
this is how i collected my data
i have created the object
jsonObj={"postid":postid,"value":value};
var jsonString=JSON.stringify(jsonObj);
now i sent the object using ajax
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: siteurl+'/wp-content/themes/crm/modules/update_lead.php',
dataType : 'json',
data: {action:actionType,data:data},
});
and this on the target PHP file ( /wp-content/themes/crm/modules/update_lead.php)
$json=json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['data']), true);
hope this helps ...
You can use the json_decode function to decode your JSON string into an array.
JQuery has a neat function that allows us to read external and local JSON files.
jQuery.getJSON( url, [data], [callback] )
The first parameter of this function, the URL you are planning to read, is required. The second parameter is used if you need to POST data to the URL. Last but no least, the callback function, although not required, is almost always necessary.
First of all you should pass the data as "application/json" and not as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
...,
data: JSON.stringify(data),
...,
On the server side use json-decode() to decode the JSON encoded string into an object. This functions is very strict and relies on properly written JSON.
It tried it with the JSON you provided and it worked perfectly.
Example:
http://codepad.org/WOH2wGZv
I recommend to get rid of the surrounding square brackets if you pass only one object. I would also ensure the "values" are passed in JSON format instead of a string. This results in the following JSON:
{
"postid":66,
"values":{
"field_key":"a",
"oldvalue":"b",
"newvalue":"c dad"
}
}
On the PHP side, use $_POST['postid'] to get '66', etc. If you used type: 'GET' in your AJAX query, you should've used $_GET['postid'] on the PHP side.
I'm doing an AJAX call using jQuery's JSON feature.
function get_words_json(address, username, paging_value) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "json/" + address,
dataType: "json",
data: "username=" + username + "&paging_no_st=" + paging_value,
success: function(json){
pop_word_list(json, paging_value);
}
});
}
As you can see, I'm sending the response to another JavaScript function, but what I'd like to do is send the response to PHP. Is this possible, say to directly convert the response into a PHP array (not using JavaScript) and then use PHP to handle the array, etc?
Thanks in advance.
You could perform another Ajax call to the php script in the success function, passing along the JSON data as a POST param.
do this?
js (ajax) -> php (array conver to ajax) -> js (ajax) -> php ?
function get_words_json(address, username, paging_value) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "json/" + address,
dataType: "json",
data: "username=" + username + "&paging_no_st=" + paging_value,
success: function(json){
json["paging_value"] = paging_value;
$.post("x.php", json);
}
});
}
The whole idea doesn't stick together at all... but:
If there is a reason to do that - then You want to do the $.post('phpfile.php',json,function(){},'text or whatever type You want in return');
and the whole json object goes to PHP's $_POST[] as suggested above, but I can see NO case where it should be done that way.
If You get that json from some code You can't change and want to use data in php do:
use cURL to get the data from another thing
use json_decode($data,true) to get assoc table of the whole thing
If You don't know what You're doing :)
just pass the object to another function without useless sending stuff back and forth. You might want to do empty AJAX call to trigger the php file, nothing more.
