title: Web Request through Maker Channel of IFTTT not sending any data
body: <p>I have a simple IFTTT recipe that triggers whenever an <code>instagram</code> photo is posted with the hashtag #dog (used as an example since it triggers nearly every second and makes it easy to troubleshoot). This works fine. The associated action is with <code>Maker</code> to submit a <code>GET</code> call to a website as pictured below.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IASl7.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IASl7.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>This then runs a very simple <code>PHP</code> script as below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
  if ($conn-&gt;connect_error) {
      die("Connection failed: " . $conn-&gt;connect_error);
  }
  $dump = $conn-&gt;real_escape_string(var_export($_GET, true));
  $sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO table (dump) VALUES ('%s');", $dump);
  echo $sql;
  if ($conn-&gt;query($sql) !== TRUE) {
      echo "#######Error: ". $conn-&gt;error ."#######&lt;br/&gt;";
  }
  $conn-&gt;close();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This should simply 'dump' the <code>$GET</code> array into the <code>MySQL</code> table. When I use the browser to run the <code>PHP</code> script such as</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://www.example.com?data=test&amp;data2=testing
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the correct response in the DB. However, when triggered through IFTTT I get an empty array.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried all the options for <code>Content Type</code> and both <code>POST</code> and <code>GET</code> <code>Methods</code> but nothing is submitted either way. I have found a workaround by putting the GET call together in the URL field, BUT this isn't tidy and I figure it should work so want to understand the problem. Also, I'd like to POST rather the GET if possible.</p>
  
  <p>I assume the problem to be with the <code>Body</code> and it not being formatted correctly, but I've tried every combination I can think of and what you see here is how the example on IFTTT is displayed.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas or a known solution.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
