I am very new to iOS. I am trying to send data through post method to PHP. In PHP it can't take data like $_POST['data']
, but it takes $_GET['data']
. My iOS code is as follows.
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://example.com/app_respond_to_job?emp_id=%@&job_code=%@&status=Worker-Accepted&comment=%@",SaveID2,txtJobcode1,alertTextField.text];
NSURL *apiURL = [NSURL URLWithString:strURL];
NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:apiURL];
[urlRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:urlRequest delegate:self];
_receivedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
[connection start];
NSLog(@"URL---%@",strURL);
Can someone explain why is that, it will be very helpful.
Please Download this file https://www.dropbox.com/s/tggf5rru7l3n53m/AFNetworking.zip?dl=0
And import file in your project
Define in #import "AFHTTPRequestOperationManager.h"
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"Your Url"]];
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"emp_id":SaveID2,@"job_code":txtJobcode1.text,@"status":alertTextField.text};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager POST:@"rest.of.url" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"Success: %@ ***** %@", operation.responseString, responseObject);
manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
[responseObject valueForKey: @"data"];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@ ***** %@", operation.responseString, error);
}];
[op start];
because you send your data via query string in url
i think it will work if you try to pass data in your request's body:[urlRequest setHTTPBody:...]
POST parameters come from the request body, not from the URL string. You'll need to:
- Call
setHTTPBody
on the request and provide the URL-encoded string (sans question mark, IIRC) as the body data
- Call
setValue:forHTTPHeaderField:
to set the Content-Type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- Either remove the call to
[connection start]
or use initWithRequest:delegate:startImmediately:
so that you aren't starting the connection twice.
That last one is kind of important. You can get strange results if you try to start a connection twice. :-)
