gistfile1.php

// curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: body=application/json" -d '{"logs":["xyz"]}' https://example.com/v1/log

$cont = file_get_contents('php://input');	
echo "cont: $cont\n"; // Outputs cont: {"logs":["xyz"]}
$log = json_decode($cont);
echo "log: $log\n"; // Never outputed. Even not "log:"

$log = json_decode($cont);

// then you can:
echo $log->logs[0];
// or
foreach($log->logs as $l) {
echo $l;
}

Never outputed surely because of error level.

I get :
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

Try :

error_reporting(E_ALL);

To get a debug string of an object use :

echo "log: ".var_dump($log)."\n";

But indeed you'd rather check first if $log is not NULL because that's the return value of json_decode() in case in invalid json string.

Thanks guys!!!

@loicm : That's not the issue here. Issue was getting $log to echo

@PofMagicfingers this was because he wanted to access the object as a string as he didn't know how to deal with objects in php. But agree that it's error level didn't help him to debug as the error went silently…
