The way I understand $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA it should contain the post data when PHP does not have a handler for the content type. Then have the always_populate_post_data setting when turned on also set it when there is a valid handler. (This was the 4.2 way of doing it in my experience.) This makes logical sense as if there is a valid handler the PHP script will have other methods to get at the data, if there isn't it can parse it itself. If someone posts a 50MB file and isn't setting the content type properly it is the users fault if it doesn't work or crashes. -- Kjartan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (http://natrak.net/) :: "Smash forehead on keyboard to continue." -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
