AngularJs $http.post() does not send data

Question

Could anyone tell me why the following statement does not send the post data to the designated url? The url is called but on the server when I print $_POST - I get an empty

Answer 1

Unlike JQuery and for the sake of pedantry, Angular uses JSON format for POST data transfer from a client to the server (JQuery applies x-www-form-urlencoded presumably, although JQuery and Angular uses JSON for data imput). Therefore there are two parts of problem: in js client part and in your server part. So you need:

1. put js Angular client part like this:

   $http({
   method: 'POST',
   url: 'request-url',
   data: {'message': 'Hello world'}
   });
   

AND

2. write in your server part to receive data from a client (if it is php).

           $data               = file_get_contents("php://input");
           $dataJsonDecode     = json_decode($data);
           $message            = $dataJsonDecode->message;
           echo $message;     //'Hello world'
   

Note: $_POST will not work!

The solution works for me fine, hopefully, and for you.
