I’m trying to receive a JSON POST on a payment interface website, but I can’t decode it.
When I print :
echo $_POST;
I get:
Array
I get nothing when I try this:
if ( $_POST ) {
foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value ) {
echo "llave: ".$key."- Valor:".$value."<br />";
}
}
I get nothing when I try this:
$string = $_POST['operation'];
$var = json_decode($string);
echo $var;
I get NULL when I try this:
$data = json_decode( file_get_contents('php://input') );
var_dump( $data->operation );
When I do:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
var_dump($data);
I get:
NULL
The JSON format is (according to payment site documentation):
{
"operacion": {
"tok": "[generated token]",
"shop_id": "12313",
"respuesta": "S",
"respuesta_details": "respuesta S",
"extended_respuesta_description": "respuesta extendida",
"moneda": "PYG",
"monto": "10100.00",
"authorization_number": "123456",
"ticket_number": "123456789123456",
"response_code": "00",
"response_description": "Transacción aprobada.",
"security_information": {
"customer_ip": "123.123.123.123",
"card_source": "I",
"card_country": "Croacia",
"version": "0.3",
"risk_index": "0"
}
}
}
The payment site log says everything is OK. What’s the problem?
Try;
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
print_r($data);
echo $data["operacion"];
From your json and your code, it looks like you have spelled the word operation correctly on your end, but it isn't in the json.
EDIT
Maybe also worth trying to echo the json string from php://input.
echo file_get_contents('php://input');
If you already have your parameters set like $_POST['eg'] for example and you don't wish to change it, simply do it like this:
$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
This will save you the hassle of changing all $_POST to something else and allow you to still make normal post requests if you wish to take this line out.
It is worth pointing out that if you use json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input")) (as others have mentioned), this will fail if the string is not valid JSON.
This can be simply resolved by first checking if the JSON is valid. i.e.
function isValidJSON($str) {
json_decode($str);
return json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE;
}
$json_params = file_get_contents("php://input");
if (strlen($json_params) > 0 && isValidJSON($json_params))
$decoded_params = json_decode($json_params);
Edit: Note that removing strlen($json_params) above may result in subtle errors, as json_last_error() does not change when null or a blank string is passed, as shown here:

Use $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA instead of $_POST.
It will give you POST data as is.
You will be able to decode it using json_decode() later.
Read the doc:
In general, php://input should be used instead of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.
as in the php Manual
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo $data;
This worked for me.
You can use bellow like..
Post JSON like bellow
Get data from php project user bellow like
// takes raw data from the request
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
// Converts it into a PHP object
$data = json_decode($json, true);
echo $data['requestCode'];
echo $data['mobileNo'];
echo $data['password'];

It seems, (OP) had already tried all the answers given to him.
Still if you (OP) were not receiving what had been passed to the ".PHP" file, error could be, incorrect URL.
Check whether you are calling the correct ".PHP" file.
(spelling mistake or capital letter in URL)
and most important
Check whether your URL has "s" (secure) after "http".
Example:
"http://yourdomain.com/read_result.php"
should be
"https://yourdomain.com/read_result.php"
or either way.
add or remove the "s" to match your URL.
If all of the above answers still leads you to NULL input for POST, note that POST/JSON in a localhost setting, it could be because you are not using SSL. (provided you are HTTP with tcp/tls and not udp/quic)
PHP://input will be null on non-https and if you have a redirect in the flow, trying configuring https on your local as standard practice to avoid various issues with security/xss etc
The decoding might be failing (and returning null) because of php magic quotes.
If magic quotes is turned on anything read from _POST/_REQUEST/etc. will have special characters such as "\ that are also part of JSON escaped. Trying to json_decode( this escaped string will fail. It is a deprecated feature still turned on with some hosters.
Workaround that checks if magic quotes are turned on and if so removes them:
function strip_magic_slashes($str) {
return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($str) : $str;
}
$operation = json_decode(strip_magic_slashes($_POST['operation']));
I got "null" when I tried to retrieve a posted data in PHP
{
"product_id": "48",
"customer_id": "2",
"location": "shelf", // shelf, store <-- comments create php problems
"damage_types":{"Pests":1, "Poke":0, "Tear":0}
// "picture":"jhgkuignk" <-- comments create php problems
}
You should avoid commenting JSON code even if it shows no errors
I'd like to post an answer that also uses curl to get the contents, and mpdf to save the results to a pdf, so you get all the steps of a tipical use case. It's only raw code (so to be adapted to your needs), but it works.
// import mpdf somewhere
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/mpdf/vendor/autoload.php';
// get mpdf instance
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
// src php file
$mysrcfile = 'http://www.somesite.com/somedir/mysrcfile.php';
// where we want to save the pdf
$mydestination = 'http://www.somesite.com/somedir/mypdffile.pdf';
// encode $_POST data to json
$json = json_encode($_POST);
// init curl > pass the url of the php file we want to pass
// data to and then print out to pdf
$ch = curl_init($mysrcfile);
// tell not to echo the results
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
// set the proper headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [ 'Content-Type: application/json', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($json) ]);
// pass the json data to $mysrcfile
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
// exec curl and save results
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// parse html and then save to a pdf file
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$this->mpdf->Output($mydestination, \Mpdf\Output\Destination::FILE);
In $mysrcfile I'll read json data like this (as stated on previous answers):
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
// (then process it and build the page source)

In $mysrcfile I'll read json data like this (as stated on previous answers):
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
// (then process it and build the page source)
I’m trying to receive a JSON POST on a payment interface website, but I can’t decode it.
When I print :
echo $_POST;
I get:
Array
I get nothing when I try this:
if ( $_POST ) {
foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value ) {
echo "llave: ".$key."- Valor:".$value."<br />";
}
}
I get nothing when I try this:
$string = $_POST['operation'];
$var = json_decode($string);
echo $var;
I get NULL when I try this:
$data = json_decode( file_get_contents('php://input') );
var_dump( $data->operation );
When I do:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
var_dump($data);
I get:
NULL
The JSON format is (according to payment site documentation):
{
"operacion": {
"tok": "[generated token]",
"shop_id": "12313",
"respuesta": "S",
"respuesta_details": "respuesta S",
"extended_respuesta_description": "respuesta extendida",
"moneda": "PYG",
"monto": "10100.00",
"authorization_number": "123456",
"ticket_number": "123456789123456",
"response_code": "00",
"response_description": "Transacción aprobada.",
"security_information": {
"customer_ip": "123.123.123.123",
"card_source": "I",
"card_country": "Croacia",
"version": "0.3",
"risk_index": "0"
}
}
}
The payment site log says everything is OK. What’s the problem?
Try;
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
print_r($data);
echo $data["operacion"];
From your json and your code, it looks like you have spelled the word operation correctly on your end, but it isn't in the json.
EDIT
Maybe also worth trying to echo the json string from php://input.
echo file_get_contents('php://input');
If you already have your parameters set like $_POST['eg'] for example and you don't wish to change it, simply do it like this:
$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
This will save you the hassle of changing all $_POST to something else and allow you to still make normal post requests if you wish to take this line out.
It is worth pointing out that if you use json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input")) (as others have mentioned), this will fail if the string is not valid JSON.
This can be simply resolved by first checking if the JSON is valid. i.e.
function isValidJSON($str) {
json_decode($str);
return json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE;
}
$json_params = file_get_contents("php://input");
if (strlen($json_params) > 0 && isValidJSON($json_params))
$decoded_params = json_decode($json_params);
Edit: Note that removing strlen($json_params) above may result in subtle errors, as json_last_error() does not change when null or a blank string is passed, as shown here:

Use $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA instead of $_POST.
It will give you POST data as is.
You will be able to decode it using json_decode() later.
Read the doc:
In general, php://input should be used instead of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.
as in the php Manual
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo $data;
This worked for me.
You can use bellow like..
Post JSON like bellow
Get data from php project user bellow like
// takes raw data from the request
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
// Converts it into a PHP object
$data = json_decode($json, true);
echo $data['requestCode'];
echo $data['mobileNo'];
echo $data['password'];
Quite late.
It seems, (OP) had already tried all the answers given to him.
Still if you (OP) were not receiving what had been passed to the ".PHP" file, error could be, incorrect URL.
Check whether you are calling the correct ".PHP" file.
(spelling mistake or capital letter in URL)
and most important
Check whether your URL has "s" (secure) after "http".
Example:
"http://yourdomain.com/read_result.php"
should be
"https://yourdomain.com/read_result.php"
or either way.
add or remove the "s" to match your URL.
If all of the above answers still leads you to NULL input for POST, note that POST/JSON in a localhost setting, it could be because you are not using SSL. (provided you are HTTP with tcp/tls and not udp/quic)
PHP://input will be null on non-https and if you have a redirect in the flow, trying configuring https on your local as standard practice to avoid various issues with security/xss etc
The decoding might be failing (and returning null) because of php magic quotes.
If magic quotes is turned on anything read from _POST/_REQUEST/etc. will have special characters such as "\ that are also part of JSON escaped. Trying to json_decode( this escaped string will fail. It is a deprecated feature still turned on with some hosters.
Workaround that checks if magic quotes are turned on and if so removes them:
function strip_magic_slashes($str) {
return get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($str) : $str;
}
$operation = json_decode(strip_magic_slashes($_POST['operation']));
I got "null" when I tried to retrieve a posted data in PHP
{
"product_id": "48",
"customer_id": "2",
"location": "shelf", // shelf, store <-- comments create php problems
"damage_types":{"Pests":1, "Poke":0, "Tear":0}
// "picture":"jhgkuignk" <-- comments create php problems
}
You should avoid commenting JSON code even if it shows no errors
I'd like to post an answer that also uses curl to get the contents, and mpdf to save the results to a pdf, so you get all the steps of a tipical use case. It's only raw code (so to be adapted to your needs), but it works.
// import mpdf somewhere
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/mpdf/vendor/autoload.php';
// get mpdf instance
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
// src php file
$mysrcfile = 'http://www.somesite.com/somedir/mysrcfile.php';
// where we want to save the pdf
$mydestination = 'http://www.somesite.com/somedir/mypdffile.pdf';
// encode $_POST data to json
$json = json_encode($_POST);
// init curl > pass the url of the php file we want to pass
// data to and then print out to pdf
$ch = curl_init($mysrcfile);
// tell not to echo the results
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
// set the proper headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [ 'Content-Type: application/json', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($json) ]);
// pass the json data to $mysrcfile
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
// exec curl and save results
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// parse html and then save to a pdf file
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$this->mpdf->Output($mydestination, \Mpdf\Output\Destination::FILE);
In $mysrcfile I'll read json data like this (as stated on previous answers):
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
// (then process it and build the page source)
I want to form a string in my php server code as xml, and then send it to javascript so that ajax.responseXML can navigate through it and do things with the data. I haven't been able to find exactly what I need to accomplish this and have tried a few different methods. Here's the most recent thing I've tried.
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$xmlstring = "<?xml version'1.0' encoding='UTF-8'>";
$xmlstring = $xmlstring . "<book name='$name' author='$author'>";
foreach($rankings as $entry)
{
$xmlstring = $xmlstring . "<rank>$entry</rank>";
}
echo $xmlstring;
?>
I know the data is getting there because if I echo it as a string and open it directly, the numbers I need are getting printed. I'm using Ajax.Request to open the php file with certain parameters, and when it reaches the onSuccess function, ajax.responseXML is null. This is my first time dealing with xml so I could be doing something stupid.
function that makes the call:
function findRankings(author, name)
{
new Ajax.Request("server_code.php",
{
method: "get",
paramters: {"type": "rank", "name": name, "author": author},
onSuccess: makeGraph,
onFailure: ajaxFailed
});
}
function makeGraph(ajax)
{
alert(ajax.responseXML); // testing that it made it
.....// do stuff with the response
}
EDIT: I added the header and made it echo just the string. I also added the ajax functions. I keep getting null though. :(
As Dustin said, you need to echo $xmlstring; instead and add header('Content-Type: text/xml');
But you also have a couple of errors in your XML declaration. You're missing a = and a ?:
$xmlstring = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>";
I'd recommend using an XML validator in future.
You used simplexml_load_string, which converts your XML string to an object.
Just echo your $xmlstring
For clean coding you should insert header('Content-Type: text/xml'); as #Twisty mentioned.
