fixing Zendesk POST parameter in php

gistfile1.md

When trying to get requests from the zendesk via their proxy it sends them in the following fashion:

body:{"user_id":"50","api_key":"XXX"}

PHP will have problems parsing the request header and stuffing it into the global $_POST variable. To get it to work you can use the following snippet. This returns an array, just like you would normally expect:

get_object_vars((json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"))));

If your using something like zf, then you can link it to the request object like so:

$params_as_array = get_object_vars((json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"))));
$request->setParams($params_as_array);
