title: Get POST data in PHP
body: <p>So I'm running this to retrieve my POST data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$jsonString = file_get_contents('php://input');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I go to print out the <code>$jsonString</code>, I get the results like so:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Something=Value&amp;OtherThing=Value&amp;Etc=Yougetmydrift</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now in the past I've been able to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$object = json_decode($jsonString);
  $something = $object-&gt;Something;
  echo $something; // would print 'Value'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I'm currently experiencing this not working. I'm working with the Android SDK and <code>php://input</code> on the back end seems to be returning nothing. Does anyone know why this is?</p>
