Req #76444 [Opn]: can't read stream from multipart requests

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76444&edit=1 ID: 76444 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: clark at electrobeat dot dk Summary: can't read stream from multipart requests Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Streams related Operating System: debian stretch PHP Version: 7.0.30 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: By "brand new idea" I meant that I've never heard of anyone needing a way to do that, let alone knowing how to. And looking through the code, I don't see a way to do it. But I think I see a possible workaround when using nginx and php-fpm: have nginx write the request body to a file (client_body_in_file_only=clean), pass the filename as a CGI environment variable (fastcgi_param REQUEST_BODY_FILE $request_body_file) which PHP will recognize, then you can open and read the file in code too.

File upload requests are often large. They can't necessarily be buffered to memory, though buffering to a temp file would probably be a reasonable fallback. And obviously being a data stream so it's not naturally seekable. But it sounds like what you really want is to get the multipart headers. AFAIK that's a brand new idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-11 08:26:00] clark at electrobeat dot dk want to delete the url to my server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-11 08:23:57] clark at electrobeat dot dk Description: ------------ It's not possible to read the request stream from multipart/form-data requets $body = file_get_contents('php://input'); It seems like it has been a open bug for many years so I don't get why it has never been fixed!? If a user uploads a file you can't even check if the data part is gzipped or anything.. It doesn't make sense that you only can read streams from some request streams but not from others!? Test script: --------------- $boundary = 'jlasdifj439'; $field1 = json_encode(['test' => 123]); $body = '--'.$boundary."\r\n" .'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="json"; filename="file.pdf"'."\r\n" .'Content-Type: application/json'."\r\n" .'Content-Length: '.strlen($field1)."\r\n\r\n" .$field1."\r\n" .'--'.$boundary.'--'; $socket = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($socket, [ CURLOPT_POST => true, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => '', CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_0, ]); curl_setopt($socket, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api-scan.dynaccount.com/'); curl_setopt($socket, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [ 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary='.$boundary, ]); curl_setopt($socket, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body); if(!$response = curl_exec($socket)){ echo "ERROR!"; } echo $response; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76444&edit=1
