I'm developing a CRUD operation in JSON. I have two files index.php and action.php. The code is working fine in XAMPP windows and Ubuntu below 18.04 versions. But when I tried to run in Ubuntu 20.04, no CRUD operation is performing.
I tried reinstalling Apache web servers in Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 with all similar steps and same permission setting. I installed same versions of php7.4, Mariadb 10 database, and apache2. I checked status of both machines resulting same information. I copied the project in both servers and the CRUD operation is working in Ubuntu 18.04 but not 20.04 version. Then I tried with Ubuntu 16 and Xampp in Windows. That is working fine. I upgraded Ubuntu to 22.04 version and it is also not working. What I came to know is it is not working in Ubuntu Versions above 18.04.
Is it OS problem or web server? I'm totally confused. Here are index.php and action.php files
Index.php
