Getting raw data using php://input not working

Question

I am having a strange problem and could not figure out how to solve it.I am using webservice from my mobile application to authenticate login details and for that application sends a $_POST data to my api and api returns the data.

Now same code seems to work fine through my mobile but if i test it in postman it doesnt work and my file_get_contents ( "php://input" ) do not return any data.

here is the chunk of code which is not working on my localhost and on server,but the same code works fine on my application. If i request through application than it authenticates the data and let the user log in.

public function getPostdata() {
    $post = file_get_contents ( "php://input" );
    $data = CJSON::decode ( $post, true );
    return $data;
}

Have you tested without the decode, just dump the contents of php://input? — Devon Bessemer

@Devon i do not get any data in $post,i tried using debugger but file_get_contents ( "php://input" ) returns null. — Mike Ross

Can you please check is any other place where php://input read is used. You can read from this stream only one time. After that it will return only empty. So to check is it works or not(any system issues) - please try to put file_get_contents ( "php://input" ) as first code line in your code — Rinat

Okay, I know it's 2 years later, but I ran into this today while testing with Postman and it was making me crazy. The problem? I didn't have the end slash on the endpoint URL and so a 301 redirect occurred and cleared out php://input.
