ajax call with this data variable gives expected POST data in the controller(server)
Javascript:
var data = "item[]=9&item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=4&item[]=5&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8"
$.ajax({
data: data,
type: 'POST',
url: '/api/call'
});
Controller:
array:1 [
"item" => array:9 [
0 => "1"
1 => "2"
2 => "4"
3 => "3"
4 => "5"
5 => "6"
6 => "7"
7 => "8"
8 => "9"
]
]
in my requirement, I create a new variable
Javascript:
var data = "item[]=9&item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=4&item[]=5&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8"
var = other_parameters => [
"host" => "host name"
"session" => "current session"
"timestamp" => "time stamp"
]
let requestData = {
other_parameters,
data
}
$.ajax({
data: requestData,
type: 'POST',
url: '/api/call'
});
Controller(Currently I get this data in the controller):
array:2 [
"other_parameters" => array:3 [
"host" => "host name"
"session" => "current session"
"timestamp" => "time stamp"
]
"data" => "item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=5&item[]=4&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8&item[]=9"
]
Expected:
array:2 [
"other_parameters" => array:3 [
"host" => "host name"
"session" => "current session"
"timestamp" => "time stamp"
],
"data" => [
"item" => array:9 [
0 => "1"
1 => "2"
2 => "4"
3 => "3"
4 => "5"
5 => "6"
6 => "7"
7 => "8"
8 => "9"
]
]
]
Please help to get expected data in Controller(Server)
You could try and use parse_str, REF: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php
Example:
$str = 'item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3&item[]=5&item[]=4&item[]=6&item[]=7&item[]=8&item[]=9'
parse_str($str, $output);
var_dump($output);
// Output
array:1 [▼
"item" => array:9 [▼
0 => "1"
1 => "2"
2 => "3"
3 => "5"
4 => "4"
5 => "6"
6 => "7"
7 => "8"
8 => "9"
]
]
It should get you to where you need to be.
Edit:
A better way would probably be to convert all your data into a JSON array first and send that. Then just use json_decode to get your array in PHP.
