To send the json data in JavaScript

   var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();   // new HttpRequest instance
   xmlhttp.open("POST", "/user/17352/post-dashboard");
   xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
   xmlhttp.send(JSON.stringify({advisorcomment:advisorComment}));

To receive the json data in PHP

 $json_string = \Drupal::request()->getContent();
    $decoded = \Drupal\Component\Serialization\Json::decode($json_string);
    print_r($decoded);
    $name = $decoded['name'];

    return new JsonResponse($name);

Platform.sh commands

Activate a new branch and have it register in platform.sh:

platform environment:activate new-feature

Importing data:

platform sql < my_database_backup.sql

Exporting data:

platform db:dump --gzip

Upload files

platform mount:upload

If you get this error: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation

sed 's/\sDEFINER=`[^`]*`@`[^`]*`//g' -i oldfile.sql

When using platform sql to upload a new database delete the line with "DEFINER" in it first
