Post Json String get NULL

Question

I have converted all the entries of a form into an object and then fill it using the object to fill an array:

var jsonObj = [];
var formData = new FormData();
$('[name="'+form+'"] *').not(':input[type=file], :input[type=button], :input[type=submit], :input[type=reset], [name="input_search"]').filter(':input').each(function(obj, v) {
    var iObj        = {}
    var input       = $(this);
    var inputname   = input.attr("name");
    var val         = input.val();
    var inputval    = val;
    iObj[inputname] = inputval;
    jsonObj.push(iObj);
});

Later i try to convert the Final array into a Json String with this:

jsonData = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);

and i get this String:

[{"s-file[]":"Prueba 3"},{"text_file[]":"ORT0000133.pdf"},{"idform":"f-gen-desk"},{"idprocess":"p-save"}]

i send this to PHP Server With this, becouse i send other Element type File with formData.append method:

formData.append('jsonData', jsonData);
var url = 'index.php';
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    data: formdata,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    type: 'POST',
    cache: false,
    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
        alert(error);
    },
    success: function(response) {
        alert(response);
    }
});

In PHP server Side i try to get this string:

echo var_dump($_POST['jsonData']);

and i get this string:

string(169) "[{"s-file[]":"Prueba 3"},{"text_file[]":"ORT0000133.pdf"},{"idform":"f-gen-desk"},{"idprocess":"p-save"}]"

when i try to conver this to and Array with this:

Test 1:

echo '<pre>';
echo var_dump($_POST);
echo '</pre>';

ouput:

array(1) {
  ["jsonData"]=>
  string(169) "[{"s-file[]":"Prueba 3"},{"text_file[]":"ORT0000133.pdf"},{"idform":"f-gen-desk"},{"idprocess":"p-save"}]"
}

Test 2:

echo '<pre>';
$jsonData=$_POST['jsonData'];
$Data=json_decode($jsonData);
echo var_dump($Data);
echo '</pre>';

ouput: I get NULL.

I do not understand what I do wrong

Last Update:

i run this test:

echo '<pre>';
$jsonData   = '|'.$_POST['jsonData'].'|';
$json       = '|'.'[{"s-file[]":"Prueba 3"},{"text_file[]":"casa.jpg"},{"idform":"f-gen-desk"},{"idprocess":"p-save"}]'.'|';
echo $Line = mb_strlen(mb_strcut($jsonData, 0, strspn($jsonData ^ $json, "\0")));
echo '<br>';
echo $jsonData[$Line];
echo '<br>';
echo $json[$Line];
echo '<br>';
echo '</pre>';

Output

3
&
"

I can determine that the chain is corrupt, but I can not know why or how or how to fix it.

1. Look at and/or post the JSON so we can too. 2. RTFM and php.net/manual/en/function.json-last-error-msg.php — Sammitch

Simpler way to send json is:

$.ajax({
    url: url,
    data: jsonData, // stringified JSON
    contentType: 'application/json',
   // processData: false,
    type: 'POST',
    //cache: false, POST won't cache
    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
        alert(error);
    },
    success: function(response) {
        alert(response);
    }
});

And receive in php

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input')[,boolean to force array]);

Easiest way to send data in general is to use serialize() on form and send as default content type and receive various fields as $_POST[inputName]

The problem may be related to the use of:

$_GET  = filter_input_array(INPUT_GET, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$_POST = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

https://stackoverflow.com/a/9854121/963200

need work around it to solve and use after read the data from POST and GET
