POST parameters strangely parsed inside phantomjs
- by user61629
I am working with PHP/CURL and would like to send POST data to my phantomjs script, by setting the postfields array below:
In my php controller I have:
$data=array('first' => 'John', 'last' => 'Smith');
$url='http://localhost:7788/';
$output = $this->my_model->get_data($url,$data);
In my php model I have:
public function get_data($url,$postFieldArray) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFieldArray);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
In my phantomJS script that I am running locally I have:
// import the webserver module, and create a server
var server = require('webserver').create();
var port = require('system').env.PORT || 7788;
console.log("Start Application");
console.log("Listen port " + port);
// Create serever and listen port
server.listen(port, function(request, response) {
// Print some information Just for debbug
console.log("We got some requset !!!");
console.log("request method: ", request.method); // request.method POST or GET
if(request.method == 'POST' ){
console.log("POST params should be next: ");
console.log("POST params: ",request.post);
exit;
}
I first start and run the phantomjs script (myscript.js) from the command line, then I run my php script.
The output is:
$ phantomjs.exe myscript.js
Start Application
Listen port 7788
null
We got some requset !!!
request method: POST
POST params should be next:
POST params: ------------------------------e70d439800f9
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="first"
John
------------------------------e70d439800f9
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="last"
Smith
------------------------------e70d439800f9--
I'm confused about the the output. I was expecting something more like:
first' => 'John', 'last' => 'Smith
Can someone explain why it looks this way? How can I parse the request.post object to assign to variables inside myscript.js
