Sending Angular scope data to Hubspot form via PHP

Hey everyone, I’m stuck with a tricky problem. I’m working on an Angular app and I need to send some data from my controller to a Hubspot form. I’m using PHP as a middle-man.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

  1. Make some calculations in my Angular controller
  2. Send that data to a PHP script using AJAX
  3. Have the PHP script forward that data to Hubspot

I’ve got the Angular part working fine. My controller looks something like this:

app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.doMath = function() {
    $scope.result = $scope.input * $scope.multiplier;
  };
});

And I’m trying to send it to PHP like this:

$.post('sendToHubspot.php', {
  name: $scope.name,
  email: $scope.email,
  result: $scope.result
});

But I can’t figure out how to get the PHP script to pick up the Angular data and send it to Hubspot. I’ve tried using $_POST but it’s not working.

Can anyone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

hey jack, i had similar issues. make sure ur sending the data as JSON from angular. in ur ajax call, add:

contentType: ‘application/json’,
data: JSON.stringify($scope.formData)

then in PHP use json_decode(file_get_contents(‘php://input’), true) to get the data. that shud fix it

I’ve faced a similar issue before. The problem might be in how you’re handling the data in PHP. Make sure your PHP script is set up to receive JSON data. Try adding this at the beginning of your PHP file:

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

This will parse the incoming JSON data into a PHP array. Then, you can access the values like $data[‘name’], $data[‘email’], etc.

For sending to HubSpot, you’ll need to use their API. Make sure you have the HubSpot PHP SDK installed. Here’s a basic example:

$hubspot = SevenShores\Hubspot\Factory::create('your-api-key');
$response = $hubspot->forms()->submit('your-portal-id', 'your-form-id', $data);

Remember to handle errors and validate data before sending it to HubSpot. Hope this helps!

I’ve actually encountered this exact scenario in a recent project. One crucial thing to remember is that Angular’s $scope doesn’t play nicely with jQuery’s $.post method. Instead, you should use Angular’s built-in $http service for making AJAX requests. Here’s how I solved it:

$http.post('sendToHubspot.php', {
  name: $scope.name,
  email: $scope.email,
  result: $scope.result
}).then(function(response) {
  console.log('Data sent successfully');
}, function(error) {
  console.error('Error sending data');
});

On the PHP side, you’ll need to parse the incoming JSON data. Add this to your PHP script:

$postData = file_get_contents('php://input');
$data = json_decode($postData, true);

Then you can access the data like $data[‘name’], $data[‘email’], etc. From there, you can use HubSpot’s API to submit the form data. Don’t forget to set the appropriate headers in your PHP script to handle JSON data correctly.

Jack, I’ve dealt with this before. Your issue likely stems from how Angular and PHP handle data differently. Instead of $.post, use Angular’s $http service like this:

$http.post(‘sendToHubspot.php’, {
name: $scope.name,
email: $scope.email,
result: $scope.result
}, {
headers: {‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’}
}).then(function(response) {
// Handle success
}, function(error) {
// Handle error
});

In your PHP script, retrieve the data with:

$input = json_decode(file_get_contents(‘php://input’), true);

Then use HubSpot’s API to submit the form. Remember to validate and sanitize all data before sending it to HubSpot for security. Also, ensure your PHP error reporting is on to catch any issues.
