Having issues with reading and displaying a JSON object in PHP

Question

I've been attempting to read in a JSON dictionary from Swift through PHP and display the results.

So far, I have been able to send the dictionary in the form {location: "North America", Name: "Me"} to the server correctly using a POST method.

My problem is reading in the content and displaying it.

My PHP code is:

<?php
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$value = json_decode($json);

var_dump($value);
?>

Whenever I run the script, I get a 500 server error. Any help would be appreciated.

Why wont you use `$_POST` / `$_GET` to get the content? `file_get_contents` uses the local filesystem, that is probably the cause of your problem. — davidkonrad, Oct 31 '15 at 19:41

Per php.net: php://input is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data". Did you check your request headers?
