You can use raw body data to send anything you can enter as text. Use the raw tab, and the type dropdown list to indicate the format of your data (Text, JavaScript, JSON, HTML, or XML) and Postman will enable syntax-highlighting as well as appending the relevant headers to your request.
POST requests In Postman, change the method next to the URL to 'POST', and under the 'Body' tab choose the 'raw' radio button and then 'JSON (application/json)' from the drop down. You can now type in the JSON you want to send along with the POST request. If this is successful, you should see the new data in your 'db.
POST request to send a form (multipart/form-data) To send a POST request, select the POST request method, click on Body, and select form-data. If you look at the response body, you will notice that the data you have submitted.
Just check JSON option from the drop down next to binary; when you click raw. This should do
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'
});
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!
I was facing the same problem, following code worked for me:
$params = (array) json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);
print_r($params);
Solution 1
Solution 2
Both solutions are working perfectly.
