[PHP] need help with $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
Hi all, I am using a Debian server with all stable packages so PHP is version 4.1.2 I was developing a SyncML server and was using $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA as a receiving container for incoming SyncML communication from my Sony Ericsson T-616. Recently finished writing the WBXML convertor and are working with the SyncML engine. Everything was working fine until i wanted to try to update to PHP5, but there aren't any officially unstable/experiment PHP5 from Debian. So i got mine from DotDeb.org. Everything worked but then $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA suddenly is not receiving any data. I recall reading in the PHP manual that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is disabled, i enabled it by setting always_populate_raw_post_data = On. It did not work, so i removed PHP5 and reinstalled the stable version of PHP which is 4.1.2 $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is still not receiving any data. I looked into PHP 4.1.2's php.ini file and didn't see any parameter setting for always_populate_raw_post_data which is not surprising since the default disable is only active after 4.2.0 I added that line anyway and restarted Apache, still the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not working. I know that XML RPC uses this global variable for parsing XML data as well, so it should be empty. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it? It was working fine before i upgraded and then it was just broken after that. Since $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is going to be disabled by default, is there a better variable to be used for receiving communication data? I noticed php://input but that's going to be changed to php://filter, but i have never tried using that before either. So i have no idea how it works. If anyone can help me reactivate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA or find a better way to grab communication data, please HELP!!

You could always copmpile from source. Everything worked but then $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA suddenly is not receiving any data. I recall reading in the PHP manual that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is disabled, i enabled it by setting always_populate_raw_post_data = On. It did not work, so i removed PHP5 and reinstalled the stable version of PHP which is 4.1.2 I am suprised that it ever worked for you. According to my understanding raw post data is available only if the content type is unrecognized by the php engine - assuming that you were infact using such a content type then it shouldn't stop working all of a sudden. -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

The only time php://input will have the data sent from the client
is if php doesn't read in any of the data. You can force php not
to read that by setting the php.ini post_max_size to a small
number.
Then you can simply do something like:
($fp = fopen('php://input', 'r')) or die('cant open input');
while (! feof($fp) ) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
Although a slight hack, it is much more effecient with memory,
expecially if you are expecting lots of data.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
