Hi
My code works (yeah!) which sends json to a server.. would appreciate any thoughts on refactoring
1) My C# code sends this json to the server
{\"firstName\":\"Bill\",\"lastName\":\"Gates\",\"email\":\"[email protected]\",\"deviceUUID\":\"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\"}
Which I have to get rid of the slashes on the server side....not good.
2) I'm using application/x-www-form-urlencoded and probably want to be using application/json
Person p = new Person();
p.firstName = "Bill";
p.lastName = "Gates";
p.email = "[email protected]";
p.deviceUUID = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(targetUri + "newuser.php");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
//TODO request.ContentType = "application/json";
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string s = serializer.Serialize(p);
textBox3.Text = s;
string postData = "json=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(s);
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close ();
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
//textBox4.Text = (((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream ();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd ();
textBox4.Text += responseFromServer;
reader.Close ();
dataStream.Close ();
response.Close ();
PHP Code on Server:
$inbound = $_POST['json'];
// this strips out the \
$stripped = stripslashes($inbound);
$json_object = json_decode($stripped);
echo $json_object->{'firstName'};
echo $json_object->{'lastName'};
echo $json_object->{'email'};
echo $json_object->{'deviceUUID'};
