Recording a JSON POST to File Using PHP

Question

I\'m trying to record data that is being posted to my server to a text file. An example of the data that is being sent to my server is located here:

http://dev.data

Answer 1

To bypass the problem I used JSON.stringify.

'formSave' : function(project){
    var s = {
        "name": project.name,
        "data": JSON.stringify(project.data)
    };

    $.post("sdcform/formSave/" + project.name, s);
}

The 'project' object contains the keys 'name' and 'data' and I only wanted to stringify the data part of it.

This way on the server I can do

$data = isset($_POST['data']) ? json_decode($_POST['data']): new \stdClass();
file_put_contents($filename, json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));

I could store it directly to the file and save both conversion but I wanted to prettyfy it!

Note: Yes I know! Do not access $_POST directly.
