wamp server does not handle xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"winking smiley when using POST!
what is wrong? i already tried to config apache... no success.

i now have a html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<input id="clickMe" type="button" value="clickme" onclick="serverTestPost('bert');" />

<script>


    function serverTestPost(strTest){

        console.log("serverTestFunction"winking smiley;


        xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        //xhr.open("POST", departureReceiverAddress, true);
        xhr.open("POST", "postTestReceiver.php", true);
        //xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"winking smiley;
        //xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8"winking smiley;
        xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"winking smiley;
        xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
            if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
                var json = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
                console.log(json.email + ", " + json.name)
            }
        }
        //xhr.send(data);
        //xhr.send("foo=bar&lorem=ipsum"winking smiley;
        var data = JSON.stringify({"email":"tomb@raider.com","name":"LaraCroft"});
        xhr.send(data);
    }
</script>

</body>
</html>

and a php

<html>
<body>

Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?><br>
Your email address is: <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>

</body>
</html>

Hi

wamp server does not handle xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"winking smiley;

This is really not an acceptable problem report.

Please tell us what is happening.
What is not happening
What you believe should happen

PS Its a whole lot simpler to us jQuery to simplify AJAX coding

hello mr. RiggsFolly,
it is not a acceptable problem report?

first: is there a way to disable the stupid smiley faces? oherwise it is not possible to post readable plain code... or is it?

you can see my very minimalistic code above.
1. simple html file . name does not matter.
2. a php file with only 6 lines - postTestReceiver.php.
it does not work.
there will be no post variable as long i am trying to set "Content-Type", "application/json";
that's why i disabled this line by comment.
by using "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" there will be a post variable in php but you can not handle it like plain json...

i mean, this is really easy to try out and should be a really common issue ...???

i tried some "AddType 'application/json; charset=UTF-8' .json" in httpd.conf - cause i think there is no json type... but this does not work.

P.S. yupp i know jQuery.
the code above is a really short one.
and you don't need a additional library to make a xhr...

to make this easier to try out, i uploaded the testfiles to my dropbox.
[www.dropbox.com]

hope you will try it.
thy peter

Hi,

Maybe you should just read this. It explains why you would not use `"Content-Type", "application/json"` when sending data to the server for PHP to process and why you would use `"Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"`

UGHHH.... i am sorry.
there is no diffrence in using jquery, BUT:
if you are using "Content-Type", "application/json" php is bypassing this and not showing it in $_POST var.
in oder to receive a plain json request with php you have to use:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
instead...
you CAN NOT USE $_POST variable, cause it shows no content if content-type is application/json!

so this is not a wamp error at all!!! - just not so well documented by php


thx peter
