Can the documentation be improved with more details about what works when? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-25 03:20:19] deceze at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The input/output streams documentations warns that "Note: php://input can only be read once." (http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php) This doesn't appear to be correct. php://input can be read once *per handle*. The documentation is misleading and should be reworded. Test script: --------------- // This will work: file_get_contents('php://input'); file_get_contents('php://input'); // This won't: $in = fopen('php://input', 'r'); fread($in, 1024); fseek($in, 0); fread($in, 1024); fclose($in); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52180&edit=1
