$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$data = json_decode($json, true);
$device = $data['device'];
$sender = $data['sender'];
$message = $data['message'];
$text= $data['text']; //button text
$member= $data['member']; //group member who send the message
$name = $data['name'];
$location = $data['location'];
//data below will only received by device with all feature package
//start
$url = $data['url'];
$filename = $data['filename'];
$extension= $data['extension'];
//save the file
if($url){
file_put_contents("fonnte-file.$extension", file_get_contents($url));
}
//end
