Check your content-type in the header. I was having issue with this sending raw JSON and my content-type as application/json in the POSTMAN header.

my php was seeing jack all in the request post. It wasn't until i change the content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded with the JSON in the RAW textarea and its type as JSON, did my PHP app start to see the post data. not what i expected when deal with raw json but its now working for what i need.
