php post request

Drake1969

Hi all,

i would like to send a post request to a php server. I need a very simple request pushing some text data. I really do not know where to start with monkey C and toybox but i noticed that there is a module toybox.communication which could be the start point. Is out there any simple example???

Thank you

    You can see the basics in the WebRequest sample in the SDK, and see options in the API doc for Communications and specifically makeWebRequest.

    yes thank you very much! I was just reading that. I am thinking to develop a simple php page which receive simple data with $_POST and then decode the data using json_decode

    The device will sent the json data using the following 

    Communications.makeWebRequest(url, params, options, responseCallback);

    and taking care to correct fillup the url, params, options and the response call back....
    do you think it is the correct way or am i far away? :-D

    Look at HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST.  Also, note that unless your server runs on the phone, you heed to use HTTPS with a certificate Garmin likes.

    ok! unfortunately i get a compile error which is almost not documented. The error is the following:

    ERROR: fenix5xplus: D:\750 Visual Studio Code\DrakeTowLogger\DrakeTowLogger\source\DrakeTowLoggerView.mc:61,7: Invalid '$.Toybox.Lang.Method(responseCode as Any) as Void' passed as parameter 4 of type 'PolyType<($.Toybox.Lang.Method(responseCode as $.Toybox.Lang.Number, data as Null or $.Toybox.Lang.Dictionary or $.Toybox.Lang.String or $.Toybox.PersistedContent.Iterator) as Void) or ($.Toybox.Lang.Method(responseCode as $.Toybox.Lang.Number, data as Null or $.Toybox.Lang.Dictionary or $.Toybox.Lang.String or $.Toybox.PersistedContent.Iterator, context as $.Toybox.Lang.Object) as Void)>'.

    the callback and the the test function to send the data is the following:

       // set up the response callback function
           function onReceive(responseCode) as Void
        {
            if (responseCode == 200)
                {
                    System.println("Request Successful");                   // print success
                }
                    else
                        {
                            System.println("Response: " + responseCode);            // print response code
                        }

        }

        // SEND THE WEB POST
        function SendWebTry()
            {

           var url = "">drakes.altervista.org/.../index.php";                         // set the url

           var params = {                                              // set the parameters
                  "definedParams" => "123456789abcdefg"
           };

           var options = {                                             // set the options
               :method => Communications.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST,      // set HTTP method
               :headers => {                                           // set headers
                       "Content-Type" => Communications.REQUEST_CONTENT_TYPE_URL_ENCODED},
                                                                       // set response type
               :responseType => Communications.HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_URL_ENCODED
           };

           var responseCallback = method(:onReceive);                  // set responseCallback to
                                                                       // onReceive() method
                System.println("try a data send");                                                                  
           // Make the Communications.makeWebRequest() call
           Communications.makeWebRequest(url, params, options, responseCallback);
            }

    Sorry it is late and i do really try to setup a minimum working code! I apologize...

  • over 1 year ago in reply to Drake1969

    Try something like this:

    typedef webData as Null or $.Toybox.Lang.Dictionary or $.Toybox.Lang.String or $.Toybox.PersistedContent.Iterator; // SDK 6.4+

public function onReceive(response as Number, data as webData) as Void {

    It works!! I did not get the typedef from the api documentation

    great
