:What do I do if I am unable to receive the HTTP body when I write the HttpEndpoint operation in PHP?

Last Updated:Sep 02, 2024

Issue

You are unable to receive the HTTP body when you write the HttpEndpoint operation in PHP.

Cause

This may be because the PHP program uses the $_POST[] method to obtain the HTTP body (HttpBody). The $_POST[] method can receive only data of the following content type. The data is submitted from a form by sending a POST request.

  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Push requests of Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS) support only the following content types:

  • text/xml;charset=utf-8

  • text/plain;charset=utf-8

  • application/json;charset=utf-8

Solution

Check whether your PHP code directly obtains the HTTP body by using the $_POST[] method. If the code directly obtains the HTTP body by using the $_POST[] method, we recommend that you change to the following method:

file_get_contents("php://input");
Note

This method allows you to read and obtain the raw data from a POST request. It can be used for POST data of different content types, and even for data with no type specified.
