I have Square-Connect Webhooks endabled. I am receiving POST's to my server script. Yet the $_POST array seems to be empty.
Here is my code:
<?php
$sRM = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ;
$sH = null ;
if ( 'PUT' == $sRM )
{
$sH = file_get_contents( 'php://input' ) ;
}
else if ( 'POST' == $sRM )
{
$sS = '' ;
foreach( $_POST as $sK => $sV )
{
$sH .= $sK.'=>'.$sV ;
$sS = ', ' ;
}
}
if ( ConnectDB() )
{
$_SESSION[ 'DB' ]->real_escape_string( trim( $sH ) ) ; // Prevent SQL Injection
$rR = $_SESSION[ 'DB' ]->query( 'INSERT INTO `Hooks` ( `Method`,`Message` ) VALUES ( "'.$sRM.'", "'.$sH.'" ) ;' ) ;
}
?>
Thanks, Rob
The square docs state that the POST body will be in JSON format, so PHP will not parse it like a form and populate the $_POST array. You need to do something like this:
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$obj = json_decode($json);
as described in the answers to Reading JSON POST using PHP.
