So I am making an Android application that utilizes an API to query data from a database. It returns a JSON object with an appropriate message/data depending on what has occurred. This has worked for the longest time until recently.
After I make sure that this API call is not unwanted (simple header check for an API key), I go on with either a SELECT or INSERT MySQL DB query. Below is the general gist of the data validation code. It goes on like this for a few more fields. I put the print_r in there for debugging
print_r($_POST);
$date = $_POST['date'];
if ($date == null) $ok = false;
$time = $_POST['time'];
if ($time == null) $ok = false;
After this data checking, I have an if statement with $ok and if it is true (which it is already defined as true), it will go on with the query.
I've been using Postman to test but for some reason, the POST array is returning values for each of the fields (http://i.imgur.com/kOYH9c5.png), but $ok is being set to false for all of the variables ($date, $time, ...). This was working fine for the past few weeks up until yesterday. I've spent more time that I should have trying to fix this issue so I've come here to get other opinions.
If you would like to see a different snippet of code, please let me know!
Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated.
