I'm trying to test a simple PHP page using the Chrome extension Postman. When I send URL parameters, the script works fine (eg the variables are available in the $_REQUEST parameter). When I send them as x-www-form-urlencoded parameters, the $_REQUEST parameter only contains the PHPSESSID.
The script:
<?php
var_export($_REQUEST);
?>
When I send URL parameters, $_REQUEST includes them:
But when I send them as POST variables, $_REQUEST doesn't include them:
What am I missing?

Right-click selected text, and choose EncodeURIComponent to manually encode a parameter value. To send a path parameter, enter the parameter name into the URL field, after a colon, for example :id . When you enter a path parameter, Postman will populate it in the Params tab, where you can also edit it.
In a POST request, the parameters are sent as a body of the request, after the headers. To do a POST with HttpURLConnection, you need to write the parameters to the connection after you have opened the connection.
Enter the same URL in the Postman text field; you will get the multiple parameters in the Params tab. Even you can write each of the parameters and send a request with multiple parameters.
I was setting the url in Postman to be http:// but Apache was redirecting to https:// and somehow the POST variables were being dropped along the way.
After I changed it to https://, the POST variables worked properly.

I faced the same issue in PostMan and Advance REST Client both. I checked through fiddler and found that my request payload is not converted into JSON format.
I am passing my data in Body as x-www-form-urlencoded
You can fix it by using Content-Type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded in request header.

Simply use the Body Tab and enter the post parameters there. Note that Body Tab is disabled if Get is selected.
