Retrieve data sent from Angular to php program?

Question

Here is my function AngularJS

'use strict';

 app
.factory('userProvider', function ($rootScope , $http) {

  function logIn(user) {
    var url='http://127.0.0.1:100/suitecrm/service/rest.php';

    /*$http.post(url,user)
      .success(function (response) {
      console.log(response);
        alert(user['username']);  //data is displayed normally here
        alert(user['password']);  //data is displayed normally here
      });
    */

    $http({
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'http://127.0.0.1:100/suitecrm/service/rest.php',
      //data: 'username: user['username'] , password: user['password'] }
      data: { username: user['username'] , password: user['password']}

    }).then(function successCallback(response) {
      console.log(response);

    }, function errorCallback(response) {
      // called asynchronously if an error occurs
      // or server returns response with an error status.
    });
  }

  return {
    logIn: logIn
  }
});

I want to retrieve my two variable username and password in my file rest.php. Here is the code where i get username and password

$username =$_POST['username'];
$password =$_POST['password'];

But when i open the console an error is displayed : username & password not defined in rest.php so how can i retrieve data in my file rest.php correctly.

This is the error in the console : Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\Users\hp1\Desktop\Stage\SugarCrm Thinline\suitecrm\service\rest.php on line 3 Notice: Undefined index: password in C:\Users\hp1\Desktop\Stage\SugarCrm Thinline\suitecrm\service\rest.php on line 4 — CHARAFI Saad

I think that unless you are submitting via a form method="POST" you need to read/parse the raw input stream.

Try with:

$request = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));

You can put this at the start of your PHP script. $request will then be an stdClass object with the data as properties.

$username = $request->username;
$password = $request->password;

Alternatively, if you prefer to work with it as assoc array, use:

$request = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);

and access data like:

$username = $request['username'];
$password = $request['password'];
