I'm just trying to send a POST request with JS to server. But server has empty $_POST array. I could use HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, but it'll be deprecated in PHP 5.6. Could I have posted data in my $_POST array?
Environment: Chrome, apache2, PHP, AngularJS (I'm using $http.post function).

The POST data must be in query string or multipart/form-data format to get decoded properly. Your data seems to be JSON, so you have to decode it by yourself:
$_POST = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
$_POST is populated by a request that is of type form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data. Typically it looks like:
foo=bar&ipsum=lorm
So kinda like a GET request.
Since you're posting JSON directly (which is awesome!) you can use:
$request_payload = file_get_contents("php://input");
See the docs for more info.
{"foo":[],"bar:"baz"} will result in just bar=baz. Form encoding has no way of specifying an empty array.{foo:[[],[]]} form encoding gives an empty result. I think that's a problem.See by default, jQuery transmits data using Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded and the familiar foo=bar&baz=moe serialization. AngularJS, however, transmits data using Content-Type: application/json and { "foo": "bar", "baz": "moe" } JSON serialization, which unfortunately some Web server languages—notably PHP—do not unserialize natively.
so you can do this when you define your angular module:
angular.module('MyModule', [], function($httpProvider) {
// Use x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Type
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8';
});

$http.post(filtersUrl, data, {headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'}) is not working... I've did $http.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/json; charset=utf-8' and it's also working
$http.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/json; charset=utf-8' also does the same thing, but providing as suggested is available in the whole application i think.json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input')); on my server...looks like json data posting directly without any variable try with
$request = file_get_contents('php://input');
print_r($request);
or use a variable on posting data like
data{'myvar': data}
and will get on POST data like
print_r($_POST['myvar']);
file_get_contents("php://input") gives empty string; 2) {'myvar': data} has the same result as original post data ($_POST is empty)
{'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}but in this case I have no neither$_POSTnorHTTP_RAW_POST_DATAon server
