I am using Block.io Web Hooks. It says that the notification service requires to communicate through POST requests. It also stated that all notification events will use the following JSON objects structure:
{
"notification_id" : "...", // a unique identifier issued when you created the notification
"delivery_attempt" : 1, // number of times we've tried deliverying this object
"type" : "...", // the type of notification, helps you understand the data sent below
"data" : {
... // the notification data
},
"created_at" : 1426104819 // timestamp of when we created this notification
}
I have provided my callback URL and I saw there is row inserted into my database but the value is blank. Yes I know that my code will insert blank but when I trigger the API it is also insert blank.
<?php
$post = '';
foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
$post .= $k.'='.$v.'&';
}
// save data into database
?>
The webhook returns json and this will not be parsed to the $_POST
array by PHP.
Instead, you need to get the string from:
file_get_contents('php://input')
This you can parse yourself. To get an array:
$array = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
