#39767 [NEW]: Binary Read of POST Data

From: deepak dot vasudevan at lavanyadeepak dot tk Operating system: Windows Server 2003 PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Binary Read of POST Data Description: ------------ PHP Should provide access to BinaryData that is posted from the client similar to Request.BinaryRead in ASP. This would facilitate huge uploads without overloading the client. Additionally, PHP should not preprocess this since if it attempts preprocesses and fills the superglobal array, we would again get entrapped in the size restrictions. If it does not then we can keep saving the buffers as it arrives from the web browser. Actual result: -------------- It would minimize the number of configuration changes to pHP.INI for huge file uploads by directly querying the binary data. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39767&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39767&r=mysqlcfg
