I have an app setup that continually sends a value via AJAX POST.

I need to know whether the POST is happening and sending the correct values.

Are there ways to do this that don't involve setting up a database to store received values?

</div>

Answer 1

On PHP side do just a

 var_dump($_POST);

or if you need that in a file

// Make sure that 'debug.txt' is writable
file_put_contents('debug.txt', print_r($_POST), true));

Update: Seems that I've not read the question carefully. I first thought that you are looking for some client side tools for testing. So I wrote the following answer.. However it may be interesting too for you and therefore I didn't deleted it...

If you are working with firefox I like the poster plugin. It's a nice tool to test all sorts of HTTP requests

If you prefer the command line (like me) I would suggest to use wget or curl

Using curl:

curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://yourserver/your.php

Using wget:

wget -O - --post-data="param1=value1&param2=value2" http://yourserver/your.php
