Simulate sending and receiving data using php: // input

Question

I have two routes.

Route::get('/receiveSignal', ' SignalController@receiveSignal '); Route::get('/sendSignal', ' SignalController@sendSignal '); 

I want to simulate sending data from sendSignal to the receive signal path.

So, in the signal sending function, I have the following:

 public function sendSignal() { $data = ['spotid' => '421156', 'name' => 'Test', 'desc' => 'some desc', 'StartofDetection' => '2018-01-17 22:22:22']; $dataJson = json_encode($data); return $dataJson; } 

How can I change it to receive in receiveSignal as follows:

 public function receiveSignal() { $test = file_get_contents('php://input'); dd($test); } 

Here I have to get json for receiveSignal after entering http: // localhost: 8000 / sendSignal . Is this even possible?

Answer 1

Try something like this: 1. On your route:

 Route::post('receiveSignal', ' SignalController@receiveSignal '); Route::get('sendSignal', ' SignalController@sendSignal '); 

2. In your sendSignal method

     public function sendSignal ()
    {
        $ data = ['key' => 'value', 'key2' => 'value2'];
        $ response = http_post_fields ('http: // localhost: 8000 / receiveSignal', $ data);
        if (! empty ($ response)) {
            return view ('success');  // or anything else you want to return
        }
        else {
            return view ('failed'); 
        }
     }
   

3. In your getSignal method

     public function receiveSignal (Request $ request)
    {
        $ key = $ request-> input ('key');
        $ key1 = $ request-> input ('key2');
        // and so on
    }
   

Good luck.
