userControllers.controller('UserFormController', ['$scope', '$http', 
'$location', '$window', 'myFactory', function ($scope, $http, $location, 
$window, myFactory) {
var dataObj = "";
var config = { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form urlencoded;charset=utf-8;' } }

$scope.submitForm = function (user) {
    myFactory.set(user);  // Set data to myFactory to share with ConfirmationController        
    dataObj = {
        "name": user.name, 
        "province": user.province, 
        "telephone": user.telephone,
        "postalcode": user.postalcode, 
        "salary": user.salary
    }
    console.log(dataObj);   //it shows this format like below :

      Object { name: "Jason", province: "Québec", telephone: "[phone]", postalcode: "M2N3L3", salary: "40.000" }

    $http.post('ajax/DB_formSave.php', dataObj)
    .success(function(data) {
        console.log(data);
        console.log(dataObj);
    })
  }

}]);

$post_date = file_get_contents("php://input");
$data = json_decode($post_date);

$servername = "localhost:3307";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "mydb";

// check connection
if($conn->connect_error){

You can try in you php for json decoding.

$post_date = file_get_contents("php://input");
$data = json_decode($post_date, true);
