Here is my Angular service post method:
getUserDetails(username , password)
{
alert(password);
return this.http.post<myData>("http://localhost/test/api/auth.php", {
username, password
});
}
This is the structure of my PHP file:
<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:4200");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type");
if(isset ($_POST) && !empty($_POST)){
$username=$_POST['username'];
$possword= $_POST['password'];
if($username == 'admin' && $password=='adim'){
?>
{
"success": true,
"secret": "This is the secret no one knows but the admin"
}
<?php } else {
?>
{
"success": false,
"message": "invalid credentials"
}
<?php
}
}else {
?>
{
"success": false,
"message": "Only POST access accepted"
}
<?php
}
?>
Although the PHP file is being called, the username and password data are not being posted. The first if block is not triggered at all, only the else block is executed.
When I remove the first if statement, then the result changes to:
<br />
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: username in
<b>C:\xampp\htdocs\test\api\auth.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br />
<br />
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: password in
<b>C:\xampp\htdocs\test\api\auth.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />
{
"success": false,
"message": "invalid credentials"
}
