urlrequest not sending post request - swift

Question

Hi i am new to IOS App developement.
My code is
func sendRequest<T: Decodable>(api: String, parameters: [String: String]? = nil, outputBlock: #escaping (T) -> () ) {
guard let url = URL(string: "http://xxyyzz.com/appRegister.php") else {return}
print("hitting : -", url.absoluteString)
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let newparam = ["name": "rr", "pass": "123456", "email": "rr#rr.com", "passConfirm":"123456"]
let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: newparam)
request.httpBody = httpBody
if let data = request.httpBody, let str = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) {
print(str)
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) { (data, response, error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
Indicator.shared.hideProgressView()
if let err = error {
print(err.localizedDescription)
return
}
guard let data = data else {return}
do {
let obj = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
print(obj ?? "oberrrrr")
}
}
}.resume()
}
and console printed result as per code is below
hitting : - http://xxyyzz.com/appRegister.php
{"email":"rr#rr.com","passConfirm":"123456","name":"rr","pass":"123456"}
{"error":"Please enter all fields."}
url and parameters works well on postman that means their is something missing in my code.

Answer 1

just to answer the problem if anyone else faces this.
this code is fine but the problem was with php web-service as the backend developer was not accepting json values as parameter instead form data was need to send.
So, two types of fix can be made here
accept json at backend by adding :-
$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
$request = json_decode($postdata, true);
send form data instead json
func sendRequest<T: Decodable>(api: String, parameters: [String: Any]? = nil, outputBlock: #escaping (T) -> () ) {
guard let url = URL(string: api) else {return}
print("hitting : -", url.absoluteString)
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
if let parameters = parameters {
request.httpMethod = "POST"
var postArr = [String]()
for(key, value) in parameters
{
postArr.append(key + "=\(value)")
}
let postString = postArr.map { String($0) }.joined(separator: "&")
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8)
if let data = request.httpBody, let str = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) {
print(str)
}
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
Indicator.shared.hideProgressView()
if let err = error {
print(err.localizedDescription)
return
}
guard let data = data else {return}
do {
let obj = try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: data)
outputBlock(obj)
} catch let jsonErr {
print(jsonErr)
}
}
}.resume()
}
