Angular 2 post request to php file

Question

I'm trying to send a post request from angular 2 to a php file.

Unfortunetly, when trying to var_dump($_POST), I see an empty array.

This is my angular 2 post:

addPerson(name)
{
    let body = JSON.stringify({
                name : name,    
        });
    this.http.request(this.BASE_URL + "mode=add", {body:body, method: 'POST'})
      .subscribe(
        response => {
            console.log(response.json());
        },
        error => {
          console.log(error.text());
        }
      );
  }

In my PHP File I just tried to var_dump($_POST). What am I missing?

I'm not sure why you used http.request. You could call HTTP post method directly, that seems simpler and more readable.

this.http.post(this.BASE_URL + "mode=add", body)

I used http.request becaues angular 2 custom request options with fixed url doesn't work on the http.post method

What do you mean with "fixed url"?

TheUnreal Over a year ago

export class CustomRequestOptions extends BaseRequestOptions {    merge(options?:RequestOptionsArgs):RequestOptions {     options.url = 'http://my-url.com' + options.url; 	if (options.method === 1) { 	let headers = new Headers(); 	headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'; 	headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');     options.headers = headers; 		 }     return super.merge(options);   }  }

and I have the same output (empty array) with the this.http.post method
