The exact problem I experienced was fixed when I switched to the https protocol rather than http in the URL. For Example - http://example.com/test-api TO https://example.com/test-api

I had the same problem. I was using api.example.fr/api.php instead of https://api.example.fr/api.php. Try to use the full link of your api.

I had similar trouble testing symfony endpoint but with completely different cause:

My class had only functions in it. And i did a 

var_dump(file_get_contents('php://input'));

on the first line of my function, which happens to be the first function in the class. This was returning empty("") even if parameters were correct.

My problem was that i forgot to use the FULL route to this, but since postman tried to run this function anyway got me too much time to notice. Hope it helps!

According to PHP documentation

php://input is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data".

Postman supports different types of Content-Type including multipart/form-data which seems to be default.

So make sure you don't use multipart/form-data(in the Body tab).
