Hi All, Just need a bit of help on an issue i currently have. I have a php script that is being called like a cgi and am trying to read stdin so that i can get the raw http data that is being passed to apache. My problem is that it all works fine outside the web environment but as soon as i call the script over the net then it dosent work as expected.
What it looks like its doing is that the script is being run by apache just lke any other cgi script but because php knows that its currently in a web environment it automaticly processes the data and setups the global variables itsself, which i dont want it to do. Basicly i want to get it to run as if i had run it from the command line. Below is the current code im using, as well as a very small shell script that does what i want php to do just so that you can see what im going on about. PHP SCRIPT: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php set_time_limit(0); ini_set('ignore_user_abort', '1'); $fp=fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); $data='DATA:'; while(!feof($fp)){ $buffer=fread($fp, 1024); $data.=$buffer; } unset($buffer); fclose($fp); $fp=fopen('/tmp/phpupload', 'w+'); fwrite($fp, $data); fclose($fp); unset($fp); print("Content-type: text/plain\n\ndone."); print_r($GLOBALS); ?> SHELL SCRIPT: #!/bin/sh while read stdin do echo $stdin >> /tmp/upload done echo Content-type: text/plain echo echo done. And i know that php does file uploads by its self, but i need to get the data as it comes in and not save it to the filesystem.
