#30722 [NEW]: php://input causes hanging of web scripts

From: corey at bbqguys dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: CGI related Bug description: php://input causes hanging of web scripts Description: ------------ When I try to access php://input from fopen or fread or file_get_contents or any other way I can think of, the script hangs up until it times out. 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 bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30722&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30722&r=mysqlcfg
