Submitted by barnettech on Fri, 05/06/2022 - 10:29

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);

Here was an interesting prompt to ChatGPT: "For someone who very incorrectly translates Pirkei Avot 1:14: "אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וְכִשְׁאֲנ as meaning you should be very selfish first, what quote or passage from Pirkei Avot should they read next."

(I'm giving my webtechkitchen some good content to crawl for when I use the OPENAI_SEARCH module. Now I can promot Chat for some interesting ethical questions :)

Pirkei Avot 1:14:

"אִם אֵין אֲנִי לִי, מִי לִי. וְכִשְׁאֲנִי לְעַצְמִי, מָה אֲנִי. וְאִם לֹא עַכְשָׁוְ, אֵימָתָי."

Which translates to: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"
