PHP Post array empty on axios POST

Question

I\'m trying out Vue 2.0 and axios and I\'ve got a little issue. When I try to send a post request using axios to my post.php file the $_POST array is always empty.

The data that is send with axios is not put into PHP's $_POST. Instead, it is in the request body and most likely in json format. To get it, try the following code:

function getRequestDataBody()
{
    $body = file_get_contents('php://input');

    if (empty($body)) {
        return [];
    }

    // Parse json body and notify when error occurs
    $data = json_decode($body, true);
    if (json_last_error()) {
        trigger_error(json_last_error_msg());
        return [];
    }

    return $data;
}


$data = getRequestDataBody();
var_dump($data)

Or you could use FormData like the other answer suggests.
