如何使用PHP使用GitHub获取Web钩子数据

Question

I've setup a GitHub webhook with a secret and selected application/x-www-form-urlencoded for the content type.

I tried to search around but there does not seem to be much info on how to use the post data, such as what does GitHub include in the POST request, can I just do:

$_POST["secret"] or is there more to it than that? I know I could test this myself but with the way I setup the webhook its hard to see the output and more of a pain to do a var_dump() for POST.

So basically my question is what is the POST layout when GitHub sends a POST request, because I am looking to validate which branch was pushed and validate the secret as well.

Answer 1

seems it is translated by PHP as $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HUB_SIGNATURE']

• but when in doubt as to how PHP will name a header, set up a page with <?php phpinfo(~0); , and run curl with the url like curl http://ratma.net/phpinfo.php --header "X-Hub-Signature: test" -v 2>&1 | grep -i test curl http://ratma.net/phpinfo.php --header "X-Hub-Signature: test" -v 2>&1 | grep -i test , and you should see what the header is called. in this case, i got <tr><td class="e">$_SERVER['HTTP_X_HUB_SIGNATURE']</td><td class="v">test</td></tr>
