Send Json Post Using PHP

Send json post using php

Without using any external dependency or library:

$options = array(
  'http' => array(
    'method'  => 'POST',
    'content' => json_encode( $data ),
    'header'=>  "Content-Type: application/json\r\n" .
                "Accept: application/json\r\n"
    )
);

$context  = stream_context_create( $options );
$result = file_get_contents( $url, false, $context );
$response = json_decode( $result );

$response is an object. Properties can be accessed as usual, e.g. $response->...

where $data is the array contaning your data:

$data = array(
  'userID'      => 'a7664093-502e-4d2b-bf30-25a2b26d6021',
  'itemKind'    => 0,
  'value'       => 1,
  'description' => 'Boa saudaÁ„o.',
  'itemID'      => '03e76d0a-8bab-11e0-8250-000c29b481aa'
);

Warning: this won't work if the allow_url_fopen setting is set to Off in the php.ini.

Send JSON data via POST to PHP

This is how I did with AJAX request to send json data to my URL:

var dataToSend = {
                name: "Nicolas",
                age: 24,
                sex: "Male"
            }

            var jsonDataToSend = JSON.stringify(dataToSend);

            $.ajax({
               type:'POST',
               url: "/your-url",
               data: jsonDataToSend,
               success:function(data){

                    console.log("success");
               },
               error: function (data) {

                    console.log("error");
                }
            });

And how to receive this posted data in request handler on PHP side:

$postbody = $request->json()->all();

$name = $postbody['name'];
$age = $postbody['age'];
$sex = $postbody['sex'];

Sending a JSON POST request to REST API in PHP

Your json_encode requires an array.

It should look like this

<?php

$checkfor = ([
    'serverId'=>'Server',
    'featureId'=>'Feature',
    'propertyId'=>'Property'
]);

$checkforJson = json_encode($checkfor);
var_dump($checkforJson); // this will now work

For better understanding read doc

UPDATE I also notice on the curl script, your array needs fixed again

 $body['serverId'] = 'Server';

and dont json encode the post fields afterwards, it takes an array.

Send POST data via raw JSON 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'
});

POST request with JSON body

You need to use the cURL library to send this request.

<?php
// Your ID and token
$blogID = '8070105920543249955';
$authToken = 'OAuth 2.0 token here';

// The data to send to the API
$postData = array(
    'kind' => 'blogger#post',
    'blog' => array('id' => $blogID),
    'title' => 'A new post',
    'content' => 'With <b>exciting</b> content...'
);

// Setup cURL
$ch = curl_init('https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/'.$blogID.'/posts/');
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        'Authorization: '.$authToken,
        'Content-Type: application/json'
    ),
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($postData)
));

// Send the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if($response === FALSE){
    die(curl_error($ch));
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, TRUE);

// Close the cURL handler
curl_close($ch);

// Print the date from the response
echo $responseData['published'];

If, for some reason, you can't/don't want to use cURL, you can do this:

<?php
// Your ID and token
$blogID = '8070105920543249955';
$authToken = 'OAuth 2.0 token here';

// The data to send to the API
$postData = array(
    'kind' => 'blogger#post',
    'blog' => array('id' => $blogID),
    'title' => 'A new post',
    'content' => 'With <b>exciting</b> content...'
);

// Create the context for the request
$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'http' => array(
        // http://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => "Authorization: {$authToken}\r\n".
            "Content-Type: application/json\r\n",
        'content' => json_encode($postData)
    )
));

// Send the request
$response = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/'.$blogID.'/posts/', FALSE, $context);

// Check for errors
if($response === FALSE){
    die('Error');
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, TRUE);

// Print the date from the response
echo $responseData['published'];

how to send a json request in php?

According to your Error, it seems your service did not respond. Have you tried to open it in a browser, to check if any response there?

Maybe the service you try to call requires you to provide a Static IP from your Webserver, as they only grant access on a IP based level. Means, your IP is blocked until they allow it.

I suggest you use cURL to do your request. This way you get future data to use for debugging, if anything fails. Still here, if the service does not respond, you want get any other information.

$data = array(
  'mobileNo'      => '****',
  'service'    => '***',
  'Code1'       => '*****',
  'content' => '55',
  'actionDate'      => '2017/09/26');
$url =  "******";

$ch = curl_init( $url );
// set data as json string
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
// define json as content type
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
// tell curl to fetch return data
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
// follow location if redirect happens like http to https
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
// send request
$result = curl_exec($ch);

// gives you the result - most of the time you only want this
var_dump($result);

// for debugging purpose, gives you the whole connection info
var_dump(curl_getinfo($ch));

// gives back any occurred errors
var_dump(curl_error($ch));

curl_close($ch);

Edit: I added the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, as a request may gets redirected. We want to catch that as well. And I added the curl_close at the end. If it is closed, error or info data can be fetched.
