Store.Proxy.api Parameter POST

[hartste90]

I am implementing a Proxy.api function in my store but cannot seem to access the parameters once they are passed to the .php files. The store is connected to a form.Panel and when I click "Create" on the form I want the form elements to be sent to a .php file to be stored in a MYSQL database.

Here is the proxy with api configuration:

var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
        //connect it to the person model
        model: 'User',
        autoLoad: true,
        autoSync: true,
        //set up the proxy to communicate the data
        proxy: {
            type: 'ajax',
            api: {
                read: 'u_read.php',
                create: 'u_create.php',
                update: 'u_update.php',
                destroy: 'u_update.php'
            },
            //create a reader to read from the database to the store
            reader: {
                type: 'json',
                successProperty: 'success',
                root: 'data',
                messageProperty: 'message'
            }

I can see in FireBug that the 'create' command is executed correctly when I click the "CREATE" button in my application, and it correctly POSTs the 'data' json object:

but in the .php file I cannot access the 'data' json object or its contents.
This is what I have in u_create.php:

<?php
        //get passed parameters
        $data = $_POST[data];
        
        $email = $data['email'];
        $first = $data['first'];
        $last = $data['last'];
        
        $response = array();
        $response['success'] = true;
        $response['message'] = "Created User";
        $response['data'] = array(
            'first' => $first, 
            'last' => $last,
            'email' => $email);
        return json_encode($response);
?>

but the application doesn't return the $response json packet - it returns '0' and a 'result is undefined' error


How can I access the POSTed arguments sent to my .php file from the proxy.api?

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I think ur problem is in your data that you post, because it hold an another array and you try to find parameter like "$_

POST[data['email']]".

It should be $_POST[data[0]['email']] ... So you can find ur problem with "echo $data;" also..

bump!

$_POST[data[0]['email']] produced a syntax error and wouldn't run


I was able to find a workaround that works but I'm not sure how secure it is...

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'))->data;
$email - $data->email;
//other values

This works in my current situation but I really felt like there would be a more straightforward way to get the POST data - anyone have any clues??

Thanks!

I use this as well.. should be fine. You can add projection (injection) to your data as needed.

Okay I will continue using this. Thanks for the help - it would be nice to show more in depth examples of this feature. It was extremely helpful for me and any application with dynamic data!
