Detailed explanation of sample code for PHP input and output streams (picture)

This article mainly introducesphpinput and output streams. Related information and simple sample codes are compiled here. Friends in need can refer to it

Recently studyinghttpprotocol! In order to better understand the http protocol, I took a look at the http module of nodejs! I feel like I gained a lot. For example, I use http request to send a request:

var options = { host: 'localhost', port: 80, path: '/backbone/data.php', method: 'POST' }; var req = http.request(options, function(res) { console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode); console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers)); res.setEncoding('utf8'); res.on('data', function (chunk) { console.log('BODY: ' + chunk); }); }); // write data to request body req.end('name=liuzhang&age=28');

The above code means to send data 'name=liuzhang&age=28', the callback is the responseobject, and print the data responded by the server come out!

data.php code is

print_r($_POST);

to print the passed data!

The result of running on the command line is

You can see thatArrayis empty, that is, $_POST has no data. At first I thought the data was not transmitted! But I changed the backend data.php to

echo file_get_contents("php://input");

and received the passed data!

php://input is a read-only stream that can access the requested raw data. In the case of POST requests, it is better to use php://input instead of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, as it does not rely on specific php.ini directives. Also, in this case $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not populated by default, potentially requiring less memory than activating always_populate_raw_post_data. When enctype="multipart/form-data" is used, php://input is invalid.

$_POST can only be obtained when the data is submitted according to the application/x-www-form-urlencoded type. The enctypeattributeof the form is the encoding method. There are two commonly used ones: application/x- www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data, the default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Whenactionis get, the browser uses the x-www-form-urlencoded encoding method to convert the form data into a string (name1=value1&name2=value2...), and then appends the string to After the url, split it with ? to load this new url. When the action is post, the browser encapsulates the form data into the http body and then sends it to the server.

When we change the sending options to

var options = { host: 'localhost', port: 80, path: '/backbone/data.php', method: 'POST', headers : {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} };

and add a headers content-type, we can use $_POST to receive data! If it is not this form type, you can use raw input to receive data!
