How to retrieve request from ionic2 App in php file

Question

I am new to ionic2 and a bit confused about the best approach to retrieve the request send from app to a php file..

I am integrating my app with laravel PHP framework .. Currently I am able to access request if using

$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");

Here I am posting data to php server using ionic2:

this.http.post('http://localhost/lara/blog/public/api/apis/login', JSON.stringify({email: email,password: password}), { headers: headers }).map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data => {

});

public function apiLogin(Request $request)

• Actually the issue is that when using postman I am able to get request in $request but when sending from ionic2 I am not getting it in $request but getting in $postdata..

• So whats the correct way to retrieve in PPH or if I am sending it in a wrong way ..

  Can any one please suggest?

Answer 1

You are getting in $postData because you are basically sending json data. Check here about reading json post request

you are setting body as:

JSON.stringify({email: email,password: password})

so header becomes: 'Content-Type': 'application/json'

You can set

'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

and body as:

"email="+email+"&password="+password
