retrieve data posted with NSRequest on an PHP file on server

Question

Here is the situation :

• I have rented a server where php 5, apache2 are up and running.
• I'm doing HTTP POST request on my iOS App using NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnnection.

• I'm sending data as following :

  NSMutableDictionary *postDictionnnary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:@[@"login",username,password]
                                                                              forKeys:@[@"type",@"username",@"password"]];
  NSData *requestBodyData = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:postDictionnnary];
  request.HTTPBody = requestBodyData;
  

  1. Is this the right way ?
  2. On my server, in my php file, where do i get those datas ? $_REQUEST seem empty.

Thanks !

Answer 1

try adding a method to request

request.HTTPMethod = @"POST"

In your php file, you should be able to retrieve your data using $_POST['key'];
