It almost seems like eof is never being reached, but there is some wierdness to that theory. If I try to dump the contents of php://input to a log file, the log file is written with the contents of php://input, but the next line of code is never reached. However, if I use HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, the next line of code is reached with blazing speed. I am running IIS5, win2k, php5.0.2 in CGI mode, gd2, mysql, curl, mcrypt, and PEAR installed. Reproduce code: --------------- $data = fopen("php://input", "r"); while (!feof($data)) { $result .= fread($data, 4096); } OR $data = file_get_contents("php://input"); Expected result: ---------------- $data winds up containing the contents of php://input and control is returned to the script ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30722&edit=1
