Purpose
Request came across my desk for a web server to receive JSON POST data, providing web hooks for a business analyst to parse. On my end things were simple enough.
- Simple Apache server to receive requests.
- Basic Authentication
- Save the POST data to file (For now, but I feel this will be expanded in the near future)
Process
[1][2]This example will echo the posted data back to the client during testing, as well as save the file to disk.
<?php
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo $data;
file_put_contents($myFile,$data);
?>
To further build on this, and to keep track of the received hooks, I wanted to add a date/time stamp to the file[3].
