This is the entity that was sent in a POST request. Most of the time, the post was due to an HTML form, with a content-type of "application/x-form-url-encoded" or "multipart/form-data". In this case, PHP automatically parses the request entity and places the appropriate entries in $_POST (and possibly $_FILES). However, a POST request could contain *any* sort of data,from text/xml to image/jpeg. In this case, PHP just puts the entire entity into the $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] variable. It's entirely up to you how to process it. As to how it relates to ASP, I don't know ASP well enought to answer that one... --- Seairth Jacobs seairth@seairth.com
