Android Question Hello, I am sending a value to a php file via the $_POST function and I am receiving an error

Hello, I am sending a value to a php file via the $_POST function and I am receiving an error
When I use the $_Get function it works fine
But the problem is when changing to the $_POST function
Although he was working a while ago
This is a test page for that
Thank you all
I tried a lot of solutions and it didn't work for me

Private Sub SwiftButton1_Click
    
    Dim resJob As String
    Dim server As String="https://www.alfaiz678.com/test.php"
    
    Dim JobX As HttpJob
    JobX.Initialize("JobX", Me)
    
    JobX.PostString(server, _
     "action=B4X Simple, powerful and moderndevelopment tools." )
'    
'    JobX.Download2(server, _
'     Array As String ("action","B4X Simple, powerful and moderndevelopment tools." ))

    JobX.GetRequest.Timeout=15000
    
    Wait For (JobX) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        
        resJob = J.GetString
        Log("Response from server: " & resJob)        
        'xui.MsgboxAsync(resJob,"")
    End If
    j.Release

End Sub

<?php

//if(isset($_GET['action']))
if(isset($_POST['action']))

{
 //   $action = $_GET['action'];
    $action = $_POST['action'];
    echo $action;
}

else

{
    echo "Index is empty";
}



?>

The result with the $_GET function

Response from server: B4X Simple, powerful and moderndevelopment tools.

Result with $_POST function

Response from server: Index is empty

$_POST

I think it expects values come from form action.

How about:

$action = file_get_contents("php://input");

I tried your code, it actually works at my side (if i remove the isset).

use:

if(!empty($_POST['action']))

I also tried that before to no avail
The same result appears

Index is empty

thanks a lot for your help
The link on the browser still does not work
Still showing the same result
But when I try this code on b4a it works fine
The important thing is that it works on b4x
Thank you

I can't believe. Nevermind.

How about

$action will contain more/other things than you expect.
It isn´t an Array.

From within b4x it is working now
I just sent you pictures
Because you said you couldn't just believe me
to see

But from inside b4x it works

Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.
Call B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True to enable logging B4XPages events.

echo what you get from

file_get_contents("php://input");

to get an insight of what is there. write it to a log file for example. or just echo it.

You should understand what is GET vs POST, job.Download vs job.PostString
If you use browser to open the URL, it only make GET request, it can't make POST request, if you want to test in PC, you need to use Postman

edit: Unless you use Form tag and submit button

I am not good at using php
I use it only when I need to connect my applications to the server
