esp32 crushes constantly on http.POST

[BBBaruch]

Hi,
I'm new to arduino and don't realy know how to debug my issue.
I have an ESP32-WROOM-32, and trying to send data to mysql DB through php web page.
The arduino crushes and restarting when getting to the http.POST command. (when I removing this command it dosent crush)
and the post command works fine from the PC.

I'm adding my code that I gethered on the web.

Code: Select all

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

const char* ssid     = "ssid";
const char* password = "password";
const char* serverName = "myIP/post-esp-data.php";
String apiKeyValue = "eF5Aj53b3j84A";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.println("Connecting");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("Connected to WiFi network with IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
  //Check WiFi connection status
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED) {
    HTTPClient http;

    // Your Domain name with URL path or IP address with path
    http.begin(serverName);

    // Specify content-type header
    http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    // Prepare your HTTP POST request data
    String httpRequestData = "api_key=" + apiKeyValue + "&in1=" + "1"
                             + "&in2=" + "1" + "&in3=" + "1" + "";
    Serial.print("httpRequestData: ");
    Serial.println(httpRequestData);

    // Send HTTP POST request
    int httpResponseCode = http.POST(httpRequestData);

    if (httpResponseCode > 0) {
      Serial.print("HTTP Response code: ");
      Serial.println(httpResponseCode);
    }
    else {
      Serial.print("Error code: ");
      Serial.println(httpResponseCode);
    }
    // Free resources
    http.end();
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("WiFi Disconnected");
  }
  //Send an HTTP POST request every 30 seconds
  delay(2000);
}

and there is the debug info

any help and explanation will really help. Thanks

HTTPClient::begin expects a URL, not a bare server name. It uses the protocol to determine which port to use.
