Ok, I tried that and ... it shows me the POST-Data as one would expect
it. My POST-Request:
POST /games/send_data HTTP/1.1

tkSession=332e7a6effc76b9bac3c0ed985e0bde5
Referer: http://tk.loc/swf/games/urlRequest.swf
Content-type: text/xml
Content-length: 80
gameinfo
game
id1/id
score2000/score
/game
/gameinfo
When I dump the $_POST variable I get an empty Array:
pre class=cake_debug
Array
(
)
/pre
When I dump the data with php://input I get the assumed data:
pre class=cake_debug
gameinfo
game
id1/id
score2000/score
/game
/gameinfo
/pre
After reading the PHP manual I think I'll use the php://input stream for
working with my POST data - it seems to be a good choice. $_POST seems
to hold only POST variables but not POST raw data - it seems that this
is the reason why I cannot access my XML snippet within the $_POST
variable ...
Chris and the unknown Gmane-Poster - thanks for your help :)

Re: How to get the content of a 'custom' POST-Request
Yes, I want to parse it with SimpleXML. But to do this I need to access this data from within CakePHP - and this is my problem: I can't access the POST body (XML snippet) in my controller action ... (in this case we have a XML snippet in the POST request but it's also possible that we have plain text here) Marcus On 14 Mai, 20:11, Chris Hartjes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 5/14/07, Marcus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello guys, I'm trying to get the plain data from a POST (not a submitted form!) request.

I've a Flash file (SWF) which calls an action in my Cake application with a POST request and sends some XML in the POST body. I debugged it on the protocol layer (http; with Firebug and Fiddler) and the POST request contains the XML as POST body and looks fine. But if I want to access the $_POST (with 'debug($_POST)' in the called action - yes this action exists) only an empty array is shown.
