Problem w/ retrieving $_POST content with REST_Controller and REST api - El Forum - 08-09-2011 [eluser]Unknown[/eluser] I am trying to use Phil Sturgeon's REST_Controller to setup a REST api to receive request from Backbone.js, and then update them in a MySQL DB through php. Backbone.js by default send a RESTful json request. The problem I have is I'm not able to use $this->post('name') to retrieve the POST content. When it enters it into the DB, it created a new entry, but the content is 0. Here are some relevant info from the browser console Request MethodOST Status Code:200 OK Request Headersview source Accept:application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 Accept-Charset:ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8 Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:15 Content-Type:application/json Host:www.williamsham.com X-Requested-With:XMLHttpRequest Request Payload {"title":"my Content!!"}
