How to pass data from python to php?

Question

I have tried this code(Python side)...

import requests
import json
keys = {"name": "John"}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}
r = requests.post("http://localhost/Python_/test.php", data = keys, headers = headers)
print r.url
print r.status_code

On php side, I am trying to get the name..

print_r($_POST['keys']);

And I am getting this error.. Notice: Undefined index: keys in C:\xampp\htdocs\Python_\test.php on line 8

I tried it on REST client, the code shows the name on REST client but on localhost it got this error.

• user554546: Do you have a web server set up that's listening for requests to the PHP script (at localhost)?
• Boldewyn: Try print_r($_POST). It will show array( [name] => John). On second thought, it will not. You are using the HTTP PUT method. Try file_get_contents('php://input');.
• Nevermore: It is post() .. my apology
• Nevermore: @Jack Yes I do have localhost up & running. However it shows that undefined index while running at localhost. When I use REST Client, it works fine with it.
• Nevermore: @Jack ,Boldewyn Thanks guys! The mistake I had made was ..I had to get $_POST['name'] & not $_POST['keys']

Answer 1

Your post data will be the keys dictionary.
Your php code should be print_r($_POST['name']);
