PHP Get JSON POST Data

Question

I've setup a Webhook to get notifications posted to a PHP page on my server. The notification request to my server is like this: ``` POST /message/receive HTTP/1.1 Host: http://www.yoururl.com/zipwhip/api/receive Content-Length: 581 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "body":"Thanks for texting, this is an auto reply!", "bodySize":42, "visible":true, "hasAttachment":false, "dateRead":null, "bcc":null, "finalDestination":"4257772300", "messageType":"MO", "deleted":false, "statusCode":4, "id":634151298329219072, "scheduledDate":null, "fingerprint":"132131532", "messageTransport":9, "contactId":3382213402, "address":"ptn:/4257772222", "read" "dateCreated":"2015-08-19T16:53:45-07:00", "dateDeleted":null, "dateDelivered":null, "cc":null, "finalSource":"4257772222", } "dev ``` I've tried using the following to convert the JSON data to a string that I can work with, but I'm getting nothing so far: ``` $inputJSON = file_get_contents('php://input'); $input= json_decode( $inputJSON,…

Accepted Answer

The following is working for me now:

```
$inputJSON = file_get_contents('php://input');
$input= json_decode( $inputJSON ); 
```

I think my issue was using:

```
$input= json_decode( $inputJSON, TRUE ); 
```

instead of just:

```
$input= json_decode( $inputJSON ); 
```
