Initially I apologize for asking a seemingly extremely basic question. But I’m a beginner and I couldn’t find an answer to my question anywhere.
In my CRM (in this case Bitrix24), I need to insert in a textarea field an instruction (mandatory POST) to call a webhook and pass the information, for example name and phone as shown in this image.
Bitrix24 textarea field
I have successfully run my stream with postman as shown in the image below.
postman results
I believe I need to enter the webhook url and the parameters in the same textarea field in the image 1

Hello I have an error page for user when their account gets locked. When I view the source code of page it just contains one line
%ERROR%
I am trying to understand if this is some kind of string interpolation as I have never seen it done with % sign. The error message that is displayed is this
The raw file you are viewing is a response page template. When that page is presented to the client making the request, the %MACRONAME% values are substituted and the HTML (or JSON) content returned from the web reverse proxy has that substituted text. Hint, you can further customize the messages to the user by substituting the macro into a javascript variable within the response page template, and then make logic decisions based on that client side javascript code. For example, you could catch one of the IBM error codes and translate it into saying something like "Account is locked".
More information is available on the macros within the IBM documentation.
I read on SoloLearn that the method attribute of an input tag within a form can be set to GET or POST. If both methods are sending data to another location, is an HTTP GET being used somehow? I thought GET was used to retrieve data, not send it. Can anyone help me understand, please?
All HTTP requests involve sending something to the server.
A GET request is designed to be used to ask for something.
If you GET http://example.com/ then you ask for the root document for that site.
If you submit the form at https://duckduckgo.com/ then your request is to GET https://duckduckgo.com/?q=example&t=hf&ia=web. You are asking for the search results for the keyword "example".
It took me a while to understand this, being that it was a little obvious. I will answer myself, so other can benefit of the answer and ofcourse to see if there's a better way to do this. The problem was based on Axios/Yii2 but I guess this will apply equally to other frontend libraries/frameworks sending data to Yii2.
I needed to post data from a small form made on Vuejs, sending the request Axios to a Action/Controller on Yii2, so data is sent on a simple POST request and the post is getting to the controller, but I was not able to receive the data on the action, $_POST | $post arrives empty (checked using xdebug).
As much as I remember, this had something to do with security. But I already tried by disabling public $enableCsrfValidation, so that was not the problem.
public $enableCsrfValidation = false;
But no matter what, data was not being added to the request/post data inside Yii2.
The following Image, explains the problem you will find there:
The Axisos method that sends the post with test data.
The Yii2 Action stpoed at the place, I should be able to see data.
The capture of the xdebug variables and data for the request.
The capture of Chrome where you can check the payload is sent.
The answer is as I said "kind of obvious", but I could not see that, and I am sure some other devs will probably fall on this.
After searching like crazy and asking everyone, I tried sending the request by using Postman app, yup the best thing I know to test apis.
Dont forgue to add the xdebug cookie to be able to debug your PHP Endpoint.
There I found the first clue «the obvious part», I was not sending data as a form-data, Axios and other libraries, send the data as a raw (application/json) payload.
This means that Yii2 will no be able to find the data inside the post request, yes its there but Yii2 magic will not work, neither you will find this data inside $GLOBALS or in $_POST.
So reading the Yii2 documentation I found that inside request I can use a function that will help me recovering the Raw data, so to do this use the following line:
$raw_data = Yii::$app->request->getRawBody();
Now, that data gets to you as a simple, raw json string, so use the power of PHP to parse it to an object.
$object= json_decode($raw_data );
And finally use the data inside by calling the properties you look for, sent on the pay load:
Json Payload:
{
"msg":"This is my payload",
"id":"11"
}
To use it:
echo $object->{'msg'}; // prints: This is my payload
So that's the way to handle that, now I would like some other points of view to see if there's a better way or cleaner way to do this. Hope it helps.
I know it's a stupid question, but if I fill a form with various inputs but I don't give them a name and id, and I POST it to a php page, does the posted query contain any data?
If it does, then using inputs without names in a form result in a wasted sending time. am I right?
Is there any difference between GET and POST in this case?
I presume that the browser (client-side) determines what to send and what to not send.
I'll try to see what happens if i send a GET request: if in the browser bar appear something, some data has been sent.
But the POST method is still a mistery for me... when I have time I'll try to print the $_POST array. thanks for the "input" #MattP
I update my question after somebody attack: I printed down the result of $_POST and $_GET, but still, I think the only answer to my question is to check the weight of the data, not the things recognized by the server. If i send unnamed data to the server, the server may discard that ad take only the ones with the name.
(sorry for the bad english)
No, they won't get the data. id is optional, but for PHP to do anything it requires the name attribute.
I am trying to understand how POST and/or GET methods work in terms of the actual browser.
I am attempting to contact an API which requires API key, method you wish to use on their side, and an IP address at the minimum.
My original idea was to do something like this:
I feel like I'm on the right track, it does something and gets an error as opposed to telling me the page does not exist. I'm expecting either JSON or XML in response as the API supports both but instead I get this error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Upon studying the documentation of the API more, I found something saying that methods are called using HTML form application/x-www-form-urlencoded and the resuource models are given as form elements.
I tried researching what that means to see what the problem was and found this site http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/ but I'm still unclear.
Ideas?
It seems to mean that the application is expecting a POST method but you're doing a request with a GET method (when you use the querystrings).
Since you can't just do browser requests using POST using the address bar, you may need to:
Construct a simple JS function that does a xmlhttprequest request using that method instead, and running it from the console;
Create a simple HTML page that automates the above process, allowing you do make POST calls;
Using CURL instead, which is a great tool for testing those kinds of requests.
