For REST, how do I receive posted data using PHP?
- by netrox
I want to set up a tiny RESTful interface for my web services using PHP. The problem is that I looked at frameworks and I cannot figure out how do I recieve the posted data without field names?
For example, if a server posts data to my server, I cannot figure out how do I get it without needing the postfield (POST variables). Traditionally, with forms, people send post data with field names such as this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, postfield=postvalue);
and I would use PHP code like this:
$postvalue=$_POST[postfield];
to get value of postfield but since the server posting data is not using postfield and is just sending XML, how do I get it without fields? How do I capture the XML? That's where I am lost.
