axios http always returns with empty data

问题

I asked this question before and wasn't able to get an answer. I was able to do use method: 'get' like below to get it working so it was okay but this time I need to use post. In a different project (using react, redux, php, webpack, xampp) the same issue has resurfaced and I am trying to figure it out. So here it is:

register.php

  echo $_GET['task'];

index.js

  const values = {task: 'doSomething', username: 'username'}
  axios({
      url: "./server/register.php",
      timeout: 20000,
      method: 'get',
      params: values
  }).then(function(response){console.log(response.data)})

When I do the above everything is okay and the data is logged out as 'doSomething'. However, when I try using axios({method: 'POST'}) and changing the php to $_POST['task'] I get an error saying that $_POST['task'] is undefined like below:

index.js

  axios({
      url: "/projects/myProject/server/register.php",
      method: 'post',
      data: values
  }).then(function(response){console.log(response.data)})

register.php

echo $_POST['task'];

Notice: Undefined index: task

Also when I try this using axios.post() I encounter the exact same problem. I want to use a post request here. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Okay after a fair amount of scratching my head I have found an answer. On the PHP this line has to be added before I can access any POST data:

$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
echo $_POST['task'];

From my understanding the data being inputted from axios is JSON so we must return it in a JSON encoded string using file_get_contents() and then convert this into a php variable from the JSON encoded string using json_decode. Hope this helps someone else. Thank you.

You url has a bad format: it is a path not an url. You have to use either a relative (/register.php) or a absolute (http://localhost/register.php) url depends on how you serve this file with your web server.

As an alternative, on the client side you may massage the data in the JavaScript before POSTing it, eliminating the need to edit the POST data on the server side:

var formatAxiosPostData = function (obj) {
// Create formData object:
    var formDataObject = new FormData();
// This step necessary when the obj contains additional overhead data,
// such as what's created on a 'this.$data' Vue.js object:
    obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));
// Fill formData object with the key-value pairs:
    Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (key) {
        formDataObject.append(key, obj[key]);
    });
    return formDataObject;
};

// example usage:
axios({
    url: "/projects/myProject/server/register.php",
    method: 'post',
    data: formatAxiosPostData(values)
}).then(function (response){
    console.log(response.data);
});
