I am trying to pass a string array to a PHP script as POST data in an Android app but i have an issue.
this is my client side code:
ArrayList<NameValuePair> querySend = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
for (Stop s : stops) {
querySend.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stop_data[]", s.getNumber()));
}
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.myURL/myPHPScript.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(querySend));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
and this is my PHP script code:
foreach($_GET['stop_data'] as $stop) {
// do something
}
If i run my java code i will get this response error from php script:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /web/htdocs/www.myURL/myPHPScript.php on line 6
null
otherwise if i will put the request on my browser manully in this way:
http://www.myURL/myPHPScript.php?stop_data[]=768&stop_data[]=1283
i will give the correct answer!
if i try the same code, but if i POST not an array but a single string passing and receiving stop_data variables without [] it works! I can't understand where is the mistake!! It is possible that the [] in BasicNameValuePair String name are doing some codification mistaken? I need to pass an array, how i have to do?
you use POST method and in php code you should use $_POST
try this
foreach($_POST['stop_data'] as $stop) {
// do something
}
this way is using GET method
http://www.myURL/myPHPScript.php?stop_data[]=768&stop_data[]=1283
