使用邮递员通过原始json发送POST数据

I've got Postman (the one that doesn't open in Chrome) and I'm trying to do a POST request using raw json.

In the Body tab I have "raw" selected and "JSON (application/json)" with this body:

{
    "foo": "bar"
}

For the header I have 1, Content-Type: application/json

On the PHP side I'm just doing print_r($_POST); for now, and I'm getting an empty array.


If I use jQuery and do:

$.ajax({
    "type": "POST",
    "url": "/rest/index.php",
    "data": {
        "foo": "bar"
    }
}).done(function (d) {
    console.log(d);
});

I'm getting as expected:

Array
(
    [foo] => bar
)

So why isn't it working with Postman?

Unlike jQuery in order to read raw JSON you will need to decode it in PHP.

print_r(json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true));

php://input is a read-only stream that allows you to read raw data from the request body.

$_POST is form variables, you will need to switch to form radiobutton in postman then use:

foo=bar&foo2=bar2

To post raw json with jquery:

$.ajax({
    "url": "/rest/index.php",
    'data': JSON.stringify({foo:'bar'}),
    'type': 'POST',
    'contentType': 'application/json'
});

I was facing the same problem, following code worked for me:

$params = (array) json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);
print_r($params);

meda's answer is completely legit, but when I copied the code I got an error!

Somewhere in the "php://input" there's an invalid character (maybe one of the quotes?).

When I typed the "php://input" code manually, it worked. Took me a while to figure out!

Install Postman native app, Chrome extension has been deprecated. (Mine was opening in own window but still ran as Chrome app)

Just check JSON option from the drop down next to binary; when you click raw. This should do
