Angular.js POST data to PHP
By default angular.js sends all data in json.
So if you do a POST request to a PHP code then the $_POST
superglobal will not be populated.
This can be solved in two ways - on the client side or on the server side.
Server-side solution
On the server you can parse input and then decode data from json:
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
$postData = json_decode($data);
Client-side solution
On the client side the data can be sent in a way PHP expects it:
$http({
url:url
data : $.param(data),
method : 'POST',
headers : {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'}
}).success(callback);
Here we set the ‘Content-Type’ header and encode data using jQuery’s $.param. This also can be done for all requests as described on stackoverflow.
