If I read the slim_post_data proposal correctly, I do understand, why this happens. In my case, no content-type is present. Thus the "always" in aprpd is different when using 0 or -1. However, the 5.6 migration docs was misleading me, because I did not _enable_ the flag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-09-10 07:19:13] felix dot hassert+phpbugs at sevenval dot com Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.deprecated.php states, that a warning is triggered, if always_populate_raw_post_data is _enabled_. In my PHP.ini it is turned off: always_populate_raw_post_data = Off When I perform an _empty_ post request on any PHP file (even an empty one), the deprecation warning occurs in my logs: PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0 PHP version: PHP 5.6.0 (cli) (built: Sep 3 2014 16:15:07) Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies Test script: --------------- cd whereever-your-docroot-is/ touch test.php curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.php' Expected result: ---------------- no warning Actual result: -------------- log message: PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
