Hi Adam,
How to easily get post data in php/zf if it's json instead of 'normal' query
string?
There are two possible solutions.
Either you let the server transform the json data using Zend_Json,
reading it from the raw post body using the http request's getRawBody()
method. I am not sure if there is a neater way to inject the JSON values
into the request object (probably there is, someone else might elaborate
on that). Second solution is make sure the content is posted using a
regular POST with a application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type (the
same way a regular POST form is sent). That should be fixed in your Dojo
(or other client side) code.
It is a matter of taste what your preference is; however I always prefer
handling forms with regular posts in ajax the same way I do without
(which can save a lot of trouble getting your application non-js
compatible, or have a working fallback if the JS somehow fails).
HTH,
Gerard
