This seems to be a permanent failure on my machine (see version bellow)

I'm guessing this is the problem
property_exists($data, 'copyright')

I'm wondering why your checking the object rather than as an array with
isset() ?
Something like this:

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'),true);
if (!isset($data['copyright']) {
Throw new Exception('>>> JSON requires "copyright" property and value');
}

Thank you

I've created a pull request with a patch for the issue. Checking the object was not the problem but rather the behavior of windows terminal not handling single quotes as quotes.

This should work now (mind the single quotes)

curl -d "{'copyright':'myname'}" http://name.mit-license.org

instead of:

curl -d '{"copyright":"myname"}' http://name.mit-license.org

Escaping the double quotes on windows would achieve the same thing
for your README (may be) you can add that this would also work
curl -d "{"copyright":"myname"}" http://name.mit-license.org

I didn't test it but I believe linux Curl calls won't have a problem

@remy It looks like you committed a patch for this. Should we go ahead and close out this issue then? @ghousseyn Does your issue appear to be solved with the patch that @remy submitted?

@remy how to create own MIT License URL can you please guide me on same.

Eg : http://rem.mit-license.org

from mit-license.

@nikulifuturz Go here then name the file to anything but end it with .json (for example: richienb.json) and insert your configuration.

For example, my configuration is:

{
  "copyright": "Richie Bendall, https://www.richie-bendall.ml",
  "url": "https://www.richie-bendall.ml",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "format": "html",
  "gravatar": true,
  "theme": "material-indigo"
}

It now seems that this issue has been fixed. If not, #1355 should further fix things.
