I am trying to send a JSON request from C# to a PHP file in order to save data into a text file. However, the PHP file is unable to read the data. Below is my code:
User user = new User { id = 1, name = "Bob", address = "password", phone = "0111111111", activation = true };
string json = "{\"id\":" + "\"" + user.id + "\""
+ ",\"name\":" + "\"" + user.name + "\""
+ ",\"address\":" + "\"" + user.address + "\""
+ ",\"activation\":" + "\"" + user.activation + "\"}";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8080/test.php");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.ContentLength = json.Length;
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Close();
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
The PHP file content:
<?php
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
$file = "LogFile.txt";
$handle = fopen($file, 'a') or die('ERROR: Cannot write to file: ' . $file);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');
fwrite($handle, $data);
fclose($handle);
echo "SUCCESS";
What changes should I make in the PHP file to properly read the data? Thank you.
