php not getting data from Request, posting from curl -

I'm firing a curl request from the command line.

My curl request looks like this:

  Curl -X Post-H "Accept: Application / Jason" -H "Content Type: Application / Jason" -D '{"BookingByCustomer": "testUser", "BookingDate": "11111111", "Total Cost": "11", "NetAmount": "11"}' http: // serverIP: port / test.php   
 My PHP code:  
  & lt ;? Php / ** global variable * / $ request_called = ($ _SERVER ['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET')? 'GET': 'Post'; If ($ request_called == 'POST') {handle_post_request (); } If ($ request_called == 'GET') {handle_get_request (); } Function handle_get_request () {resonant "Receive Request Received!"; } Function handle_post_request () {$ json = $ _SERVER ['HTTP_JSON']; Print_r ($ _SERVER); }? & Gt;   
 but Jason Data does not seem to be in $ _SERVER  $ _ SERVER ['HTTP_JSON']   
 
  < P> 
 
]  in  $ _ server . You need to get the contents of the post from  $ _ POST .  
 But as you are not giving your JSON data, a variable name will give you raw POST content  pre>  $ json = file_get_contents ("php: // input");   
 Another solution would be to give your JSON data a variable name:  
  curl -x post ... -d 'HTTP_JSON = {... } ''   
 Unless you have any taboo characters (like? Or Android) in your Jason, otherwise you need to encode your JSON string to the URL. This is the reason why I suggested the first solution using the  php: // input . In this way you do not have to pay attention to URL encoding.
