Doc #52180 [NEW]: php://input can be read more than once

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:php://input can be read more than once 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 bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52180&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52180&r=mysqlcfg
