However, it does seem that fopen("php://stdin", "rb") will allow access to that data (but I haven't tried to verify this). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-25 19:57:56] wez@php.net Sounds like the data is ending up coming from stdin; try the following code: $data = fopen("php://stdin", "rb"); $destfile = fopen("file_to_overwrite", "wb"); while(!feof($data)) { $chunk = fread($data, 4096); fwrite($destfile, $chunk); } fclose($destfile); fclose($data); This doesn't explain why it doesn't behave as documented, but should be enough to get you going. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-25 12:40:18] vvs_php@nsrd.sinp.msu.ru PUT method is used for publishing from HTML editors. But apache brings the data to the script to the stdin stream. So, PHP does not accept any data. And, also, does not set up any variable on that score. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 22:43:27] kalowsky@php.net updating version as per user comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
