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 $data["operacion"];
From your json and your code, it looks like you have spelled the word operation correctly on your end, but it isn't in the json.
EDIT
Maybe also worth trying to echo the json string from php://input.
echo file_get_contents('php://input');
It is worth pointing out that if you use json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"))
(as others have mentioned), this will fail if the string is not valid JSON.
This can be simply resolved by first checking if the JSON is valid. i.e.
function isValidJSON($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:

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.
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
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)
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo $data;
This worked for me.
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.
