Re: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
Your script should work fine, and to fix claims made in
this thread:
a) $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is NOT an array, it's a string.
b) It does not live in $_SERVER, or rely on register_globals.
Your code is wrong because you don't provide names for your
fields, so there is no POST data. Assign your text field
a name, and your submit field a name, and it will work.
Also, keep in mind that $PHP_SELF existing requires the
PHP directive register_globals to be on.

Philip

True, but the pre tags dont stop the browser from rendering html code. I dont have any problems wrapping "" around the print_r. $var = "" print_r($var); Yields an image not the actual string in $var.

This is a problem I run into all the time, I am curious of how many
people have run into this. I've been considering writting a patch
for php that will enable an option to htmlentity the strings. The
alternative would be to write a function that loops through all the
results:
function my_print_r($var) {
$r = print_r($var, true);
foreach($var as $key => $val) {
if (is_string($val) ) {
$val = htmlentities($val);
} elseif (is_array($val) {
$val = my_print_r($val);
}
$r[$key] = $val;
}
return $r;
}
Since print_r is usually used for debugging, it would be nice that
php does this for you. Any comments on this before i throw the
idea to the php-dev list?

RE: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
You should encase the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in print_r() or you will just get
the word "Array" printed. But I doubt that will solver your problem because
it seems that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty.
Also, print_r() does not include any HTML formatting, so you will need to
look at the source for the page in the browser to make it readable.

Subject: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
I need to have the contents of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA because of
non-regular uploads (from browser to my home-made WevDAV server
implementation
(done in PHP)). However, no matter what I
do, it is always NULL. I guess the following script should return
SOMETHING in $HTTP_RAW_POST DATA if "always_populate_raw_post_data = On" is
added to the php.ini file (and yes, I've restarted apache :-)... so, why
is it empty and how can I get the RAW post data? My PHP version is 4.3.2.
test.php:
\n");
echo("Raw post data decoded:
".base64_decode($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)."\n");
echo("");
phpinfo();
?>

Re: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
Hi, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is an array... with echo you'll only get "array".. To get something into $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, you need to "submit" your form before... Your script will only display something if you post the form before. Regards, P.E. Baroiller "John W.
