Unable to post using AngularJS & PHP

Question

I'm running an AngularJS app.

I've ran in locally before and I could post to the local server.

Now I'm trying it on the live server and I get the following error:

Unable to create Reservation.

This error is posted from the create.php page, whenever it's unable to post to the server.

Anyone know what's wrong with my code?

create.php page

  <?php
// required headers
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST");
header("Access-Control-Max-Age: 3600");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Authorization, X-Requested-With");

// get database connection
include_once '../config/database.php';

// instantiate reservation object
include_once '../objects/reserve.php';

$database = new Database();
$db = $database->getConnection();

$reservation = new Reservation($db);

// get posted data
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));

// set product property values
$reservation->name = $data->name;
$reservation->eMail = $data->eMail;
$reservation->phoneNumber = $data->phoneNumber;
$reservation->colorScooter = $data->colorScooter;
$reservation->amountScooters = $data->amountScooters;
$reservation->inputDate = $data->inputDate;
$reservation->returnDate = $data->returnDate;
$reservation->category_id = $data->category_id;
$reservation->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// create the reservation
if($reservation->create()){
    echo '{';
        echo '"message": "Reservation was created."';
    echo '}';
}

// if unable to create the reservation, tell the user
else{
    echo '{';
        echo '"message": "Unable to create Reservation."';
    echo '}';
}
?>

EDIT 02-08-18

It seems it's not setting the property values.

    // set product property values
$reservation->name = $data->name;
$reservation->eMail = $data->eMail;
$reservation->phoneNumber = $data->phoneNumber;
$reservation->colorScooter = $data->colorScooter;
$reservation->amountScooters = $data->amountScooters;
$reservation->inputDate = $data->inputDate;
$reservation->returnDate = $data->returnDate;
$reservation->category_id = $data->category_id;
$reservation->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

I can see this when running the opening the create.php live vs locally

locally

Live

 {"message": "Unable to update reservation."}

It seems on live it's not looking for the property values

Running on HP 7.0 (7.0.28)

added:

ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);

and now got the following displayed

Added 11-08-2018

Adding var_dump($product); results in showing that the variable $product does return the table and $data is actually where to problem lies.

result of var_dump($product);

Current status

If I open the create.php file it does create a product, but If i use the form I get the error Unable to create product.

Also when I open the create.php file I get the following error message:

It seems it can't find the "name" properties.

I've got the idea whats causing the issue,

factory

// create product
factory.createProduct = function($scope){
    return $http({
        method: 'POST',
        data: {
            'name' : $scope.name,
            'email' : $scope.email,
            'phone' : $scope.phone,
            'amount' : $scope.amount,
            'description' : $scope.description,
            'pickup' : $scope.pickup,
            'back' : $scope.back,
            'category_id' : 1
        },
        url: 'http://localhost/api/product/create.php'

    });
};

my controller

// create new product
$scope.createProduct = function(){

    productsFactory.createProduct($scope).then(function successCallback(response){

        // tell the user new product was created
        $scope.showToast(response.data.message);

        // refresh the list
        $scope.readProducts();

        // close dialog
        $scope.cancel();

        // remove form values

    }, function errorCallback(response){

Running the createproduct() it does post it into create.php

I checked it with google chrome's inspector network tab.

amount

it also returns code:200

which according to this link means:

200 OK This response code indicates that the request was successful.

201 Created This indicates the request was successful and a resource was created. It is used to confirm success of a PUT or POST request.

It seems it's not creating new resources and nothing has been posted.

Why do you use php://input? Is there a reason why you are not using $_POST to access the posted data? If a POST-Request hits php the global associative array $_POST gets created. Each index will match one of your name-attributes from your form and contain its value.

The errors displayed could come from this approach because php://input can be anything, so $data can be. If that's the case you try to assign values ($reservation->name = $data->name;) out of an object which is actually not an object.

// get posted data
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));

// set product property values
$reservation->name = $data->name;
$reservation->eMail = $data->eMail;
$reservation->phoneNumber = $data->phoneNumber;
$reservation->colorScooter = $data->colorScooter;
$reservation->amountScooters = $data->amountScooters;
$reservation->inputDate = $data->inputDate;
$reservation->returnDate = $data->returnDate;
$reservation->category_id = $data->category_id;
$reservation->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

clarify the datatype of $data and make sure it stays the same no matter what. (try using var_dump instead of echo or print_r, grants additional information)

make sure to check all variable values and array values before doing any transaction. You can validate them at any point you want by using

isset()

and

is_array()

So, you will get clear idea about whic one is not set at the right place. So you will be able to trace it very clearly. Otherwise you will waste your time by tracing the problem.

Check what you get on file_get_contents("php://input") (var_dump)
In factory.createProduct you have url: 'http://localhost/api/product/create.php'. Is this what you want? Calling from remote to localhost? Souldn't you use '/api/product/create.php'?
