Question

I’m currently working on a symfony2 based project with lots of ajax usage.

Now I want to send a JSON via $.ajax(); (POST type) and handle it in a symfony2 controller.
But I’m not quite sure how I access the JSON inside the controller.

Right now I’ve got the following:

JS:

            $.ajax({
                url: url,
                type:"POST",
                data:json,
                success:function (data) {
                    $('div.tooltip p').html(data);
                }
            });

And the PHP:

    public function registrationAction(Request $request) {
        if($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
            // How to receive??
        }

        return $this->render('KnowHowERegistrationBackendBundle:Create:registration.html.twig');
}

The only thing I don’t know is how can I access the JSON?
I’m sure it’s pretty easy I just don’t see it.
Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

your code i think not complete,if you want to send data to server with json format i think the setup $.ajax like this, just example

$.ajax({
                url: url,
                type:"POST",
                data:"JSONFile=" + json,
                success:function (data) {
                    $('div.tooltip p').html(data);
                }
            });

add parameter JSONFile or whatever what do you want.and you can use json decode to retrive json from client.

this is code in php:

$json = $_POST['JSONFile'];

var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true)); //true option if you will convert to array

in symfony2 controller direct acces $_POST is bad so use request
$request = $this->getRequest();
$request->request->get('JSONFile'); // get a $_POST parameter
