Why not post data with file_get_contents PHP function?

Question

I'm sorry, I speak a little English.

I read it all here. Why not works? No post data.

Edited (with Content-type):

$postdata = http_build_query( array(

    'request'=> 'activate',
    'license-key'=> $_POST [ 'license-key' ],
    'http_host'=> $_SERVER [ 'HTTP_HOST' ],
    'wp_version'=> $wp_version,
    'theme_version'=> $theme_version

) );

$opts = array( 'http'=> array(

    'method'=> 'POST',
    'header'=> 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'content'=> $postdata

) );

$context = stream_context_create( $opts );

$json = file_get_contents( 'https://test2.com/api', false, $context ); // https://test2.com/api/index.php

https://test2.com/api

$postdata = json_encode( $_POST );
$sql = "INSERT INTO `api`( `request`, `postdata`, `return` ) VALUES( '" . $_POST [ 'request' ] . "', '" . $postdata . "', 'success' )";

The database:

INSERT INTO `api`( `request`, `postdata`, `return` ) VALUES( '', '[]', 'success' );

Why empty the request and postdata columns? The return column is okay.

error_log

[28-Jul-2021 16:25:12 America/New_York] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: request in /home/*/public_html/api/index.php on line 15

The 14-15. line:

$postdata = json_encode( $_POST );
$sql = "INSERT INTO `api`( `request`, `postdata`, `return` ) VALUES( '" . $_POST [ 'request' ] . "', '" . $postdata . "', 'success' )";

Please help me.

Then I can't think of any reason why it doesn't work. Does it work if you use `curl` instead? — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:24
because the other question shows how to send a POST request with `file_get_contents`. — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:32
I know what you want to do. I asked you to try that as an experiment. Maybe something else is blocking you. — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:33
I would like this: $sql = "INSERT INTO `api`( `request`, `postdata`, `return` ) VALUES( '" . $_POST [ 'request' ] . "', '" . json_encode( $_POST ) . "', 'success' )"; The insert is okay and the 'success' is okay, but the `request` and the `postdata` not, empty. — jozs2021, Jul 28 '21 at 19:34
Are you saying that the POST request is being sent, but some of the parameters are missing? Why didn't you say that in the question?> — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:36
Not solving my problem. I read all questions in stackoverflow. I don't understand, why close my question if not solving my problem the link... — jozs2021, Jul 28 '21 at 19:37
Please edit the question and explain the problem completely. — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:37
You should use a prepared statement with parameters rather than substituting `json_encode($_POST)` directly into the query. — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:38
I don't know testing the $_POST data in https://test2.com/api or how to testing? The file_get_contents is okay, it works, but I think empty the $_POST array. — jozs2021, Jul 28 '21 at 19:39
Your code is correct according to the other question. Why do you think you'll get a different answer? — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:40
If you check the access log on the server, do you see the POST request? — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 19:50
Solved. The https://test2.com/api change to https://test2.com/api/index.php. OMG. Thanks. — jozs2021, Jul 28 '21 at 20:35
Something is sending a `GET` request before each `POST` request. Are you using the same script to send the request? — Barmar, Jul 28 '21 at 20:36
I think the redirects POST: test2.com/api -> test2.com/api/index.php (GET), the $_POST is empty. — jozs2021, Jul 28 '21 at 20:45
