Hello,
If PHP receives a HTTP request with the method POST and with the header
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-encoded, then, it automatically parses
the request body to populate an array in $_POST. If the Content-Type is
different (e.g. text/plain or application/json), the request body is
reachable by reading php://input. Well, it is ok.
But is there any plans to consider application/json by parsing the request
body and populate the result in $_POST (with the help of json_decode()
maybe)?
If so, I would like to propose a patch but I don't find in the source code
where request body is caugth and parsed (for POST). Any ideas?
Maybe a RFC would also be welcome to complete my suggestion?
Thanks.
Hi !
Reading and parsing post data function is defined as a SAPI struct
function pointer.
You should look at sapi_module_struct definition
(http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/main/SAPI.h#251).
When a request comes in, sapi_activate() is called. It then calls
sapi_read_post_data() http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/main/SAPI.c#459
that itself invokes handlers.
Default handlers are defined here :
http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/main/php_content_types.c#29 and for
POST, by default, sapi_read_standard_form_data() is called (defined
here http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/main/SAPI.c#253)
This function is in fact just a bridge, it tells PHP to call
sapi.read_post() which is a function pointer defined by each SAPI.
Finally, later on, sapi.default_post_reader() is called (again, a
function pointer defined by each SAPI)
I agree it's not a very trivial part though :p
No it's clear.
Thanks for clarifying this!
