Which statement correctly describes the behavior of the `$_POST` superglobal when `Content-Type` is `application/json`?

Accepted Answer

PHP's $_POST superglobal is only populated when the Content-Type is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or 'multipart/form-data'. For other types like 'application/json', PHP does not automatically parse the request body, leaving $_POST empty.
