It doesn't sound like $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is actually raw post data. 
This is very sad.

I fear PHP can do nothing about it - where should it put
that information that does not conform to standard
name=value convention?

As for raw POST data access - use non-form content type
(like application/octet-stream) and pick your data from
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

I'm working on an XML-Project. My PHP-Script is called by another
script on another server. It is sending a complete XML-File using the
HTTP-POST-method.

For some reason it is sending *only* the XML-File, and *not* pairs of
'key and value'. 

So for example the posted data is just '<xmldata>...</xmldata>' and not
'xml_file=<xmldata>...</xmldata>'.

It appears to me, that PHP tries to parse the data, but since it
doesn't find any equals-signs ('=') in the data, it cannot divide the
data into 'keys and values'.

The problem is that I cannot access the posted data at all. The
$HTTP_POST_VARIABLES-array is set, but it is empty. The REQUEST_METHOD
and CONTENT_LENGTH variables are correctly set (f.e POST and 2134).

If by accident somewhere in the data would appear a '=', then PHP
interpretes the former part as the variable-name (with spaces converted
to underscores!), and the latter as the variable-value. This could also
become a problem, because a '=' or a '&' *could* be part of the data.

How can I access the posted data directly? This is quite urgent to me.
