See this post for detailed description: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=103717951119500&w=2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-16 12:40:37] sniper@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-16 11:08:51] lacak at users dot sourceforge dot net No solution. $_POST is OK (contains form elements), but file_get_contents('php://input') returns empty string. Laco. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-16 10:50:27] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-16 08:53:33] lacak at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ file_get_contents('php://input') (and also file, fopen+fread) does not return POST data, when submited form with enctype="multipart/form-data". When submited the same form without enctype specified (so default "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is used) all works OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33359&edit=1
