Apache/PHP how to get data sent in POST?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Now I'm working on a RESTfull service, I'm sending POST data - they are registered in environment variables like $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_<VARIABLE_NAME>' ] , while the $_POST array is empty. Can you please tell me how it can be corrected to receive data via $_POST ?

Answer 1

Content-Type must be specified in the request and Content-Length.

Answer 2

php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php
can be read from php://input
like file_get_contents("php://input")
or else it can be in $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

Answer 3

Does your service send or receive data? It's not clear from the question.
As $_SERVER['HTTP_<VARIABLE_NAME>'] data is usually logged which is passed as HTTP headers. Maybe you're sending data to your service incorrectly?

Answer 4

adding Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded to the Request Header helped ,
and to the Request Body in the format
var1=1
var2=2
