It doesn't sound like $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is actually raw post data. This is very sad. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-12-11 06:13:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-12-05 06:42:27] t dot rogall at jensen-stuart dot de 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8116&edit=1
