通过cURL POST发送数组

Question

Hi i am testing a scenario for REST web service for mobile app.During testing i need to send an array to my php programme using post method. which i am doing through cURL console. rest of the thing is working fine except passing an array. Please suggest any changes.

following code i am passing in cURL console

C:\curlw32>curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost/slim-login/api/submit -d "{\"specialtyCheckbox\":\"[1,2,3]\"}"

and here is the php code for catching it

$request = Slim::getInstance()->request();
$onsubmit_content = json_decode($request->getBody());
$spec=$onsubmit_content->specialtyCheckbox;
echo json_encode(count($spec));

Here the length of the array it is showing 1.

Answer 1

dont use quotes around your array (if you want to send a json array ):

"{\"specialtyCheckbox\":[1,2,3]}"
