Using bitcoinnotify.com - cannot get POST data.

[wildboy211]

Im using a test event to send a HTTP Post request to my server, but when i trigger the event, nothing shows up, im using simple PHP coding:
print_r($_POST);

And all im getting is:
Array ( )

And im refreshing multiple times after trigger. Am i doing it wrong or anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I have manually POST-ed your URL with an independent tool - cREST client plugin for Chrome - and the result is the same "Array ( )", which means there is something wrong with your server configuration or PHP script.

Random ideas:

1) As far as I know the $_POST is deprecated in PHP. Perhaps try a more recent function?

2) Remember that with POST, parameters are sent in the HTTP request body, not in the URL (just in case this matters).

I am trying this with another host, and when i sent the information from a test page with a simple hidden object and a submit button, the post data transfered over. But when i try it with the chrome plugin or bitcoinnotify i get nothing. The PHPccode im using now is:
<?
print $_REQUEST["type"];
?>

And this isnt my first PHP page either...im totally baffled on why this isnt working.

I hate it when people refer to other posts so I'll help you here.

First create a file output.txt and chmod it 777
Now, create a file test.php and past this code in it;

Code:

<?php

    $output = file_get_contents('php://input');

    $fp=fopen($tmp_path."output.txt","a");
    if($fp) {
      if(flock($fp,LOCK_EX)) {
        fwrite($fp,$output."\n");
        flock($fp,LOCK_UN);
      }
      fclose($fp);
    }

?>

Go to http://www.bitcoinpayflow.com/test_pn and enter http://www.yourdomain.com/test.php then click on Test.

If all went well, you should see on the screen what was send to test.php

Wait some time - the server is a bit slow.

Check your output.txt file for the result.
