Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74168&edit=1 ID: 74168 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: skaownz234 at gmail dot com Summary: php://input is truncated -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: JSON related Operating System: Centos 7 Minimal PHP Version: 7.0.16 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > I'll send the JSON blob that causes the error via the patch file. That does not work. Please provide the JSON somewhere else. Also note that the input might be truncated due to post_max_size[1].

It seems that this signals php to stop reading in from php://input. The JSON parse will fail since the truncation yields invalid JSON. I'll send the JSON blob that causes the error via the patch file. I remove the pattern /(<|>)+/ as a work around at the moment. Here's where it fails: d63da06809da5cf7c712":false},"is_super_like":false,"is_boost_match":false,"person":{"_id":"56c1d63da06809da5cf7c712","badges":[],"bio":"Why do guys put their height on here? Are we more compatible the taller we are? Let\'s test it:\\n\\n4\'10\\"\\nLibra\\nSarcastic\\nENFJ\\nType A\\nAmbitious\\nSapiosexual <<<<<<<<<<' Pretty sure the <<<'s cause this. Seems like the underlying stream processor has some sort of break condition dependent on the < symbols. Test script: --------------- POST something like { <?php $input = file_get_contents('php://input'); $j = json_decode(stripslashes(html_entity_decode($input)), true); echo json_encode($j); ?> Expected result: ---------------- All JSON data is received and retrievable via my $input variable for decoding. Actual result: -------------- JSON is truncated at an instance of '<<<<<<<<<<', rendering it invalid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74168&edit=1
