PHP $ _GET data submitted via AngularJS

Question

I searched quite a lot and can only find http.post () examples. My problem:

I send data via AngularJS with $ http.get, however, when I send data sent to my PHP file, it constantly appears NULL. Whenever I use $ http.post (), everything works accordingly. What am I doing wrong.

PS - Noob to Angular

ANGULAR

(function ()
    {
      var app = angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']);

      app.config(function($routeProvider){
          $routeProvider
            .when('/players', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/players.html',
                controller: 'PlayersController'
            })
            .otherwise({
                redirectTo: 'index.html'
            });
      });

        app.controller('PlayersController', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) 
            {
                $http
                    .get('executer.php', {
                        params: {
                            league: "NFL",
                            team: "Ravens"
                        }
                    })
                    .success(function(response)
                    {
                        console.log(response);
                    })
                    .error(function()
                    {
                        console.log("error"); 
                    });
            }
        ]);
    })
();

Php

<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/php/Class/Database.php');
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/php/Class/Search.php');

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
echo json_encode($data); die();

Accepting a wild assumption, but assuming it's related to "php: // input", however, I don't know what this actually does - just copy / paste from another Stack column.

thanks

- $_GET

echo json_encode($_GET); die();
