How can I modify this fetch JSON function to allow HTTP POST requests to be sent. I have written a script in php that looks for variable "a"
This is what the php looks like:
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","dbname");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
// This SQL statement selects ALL from the table 'Equipment'
$nameValue = $_POST['a'];
$sql = "SELECT customer, FROM TABLE1 WHERE (customer = '$nameValue') and status = 'Active' ";
// Check if there are results
if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql))
{
// Create temporary connection
$resultArray = array();
$tempArray = array();
// Look through each row
while($row = $result->fetch_object())
{
// Add each row into our results array
$tempArray = $row;
array_push($resultArray, $tempArray);
}
// Finally, encode the array to JSON and output the results
echo json_encode($resultArray);
}
mysqli_close($con);
}
?>
The following is the Swift code I am using to retrieve the JSON data, but now I would like to respond to the JSON POST Request, what can be added to this?
fileprivate func fetchJSON(){
let urlString = "https://www.example.com/example/example.php"
guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else { return }
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, _, error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let error = error {
print("Failed to fetch data from url", error)
return
}
guard let data = data else { return }
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
// Swift 4.1
self.structure = try decoder.decode([ScheduleStructure].self, from: data)
self.tableView.reloadData()
} catch let jsonError {
print("Failed to decode json", jsonError)
}
}
}.resume()
}
