Not getting post value from file_get_contents('php://input')

Question

I am having an issue when I am using a post request on an PHP file and I am passing simple keys and values to post. For example say key = productId and value = 123.

<?php

$data_back = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));

return $data_back;

I am receiving nothing. Please assist.

We are not getting the post inputs like this `file_get_contents('php://input') ` — KubiRoazhon, Aug 22 '17 at 15:27
@KubiRoazhon maybe you are not, but I am : when request parameters are passed as JSON body of the POST request, instead of codified in the URL. — YvesLeBorg, Aug 22 '17 at 15:32
@Aditya : how are you invoking this PHP script ? show that code too. — YvesLeBorg, Aug 22 '17 at 15:33
Maybe he should simply try to var_dump the $_REQUEST variable. — KubiRoazhon, Aug 22 '17 at 15:35

Check how is your request created. It must be POST and php://input is not available for enctype="multipart/form-data"
Problem may be json_encode() receiving invalid JSON. Check for json_decode error and/or check if the output from file_get_contents('php://input') is really empty.

in PHP file you can catch post request variabile just using $_POST array.

<?php

$data_back = $_POST;

return $data_back;

?>
