binary POST data

Hello, I am trying to process POST data sent from a device. Here is a capture of what is being sent from the device (with the file data replaced by <File Contents>): POST file.php HTTP/1.1 Host: ---.---.---.--- Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------BC368B1E Content-Length: 4841 ----------------------BC368B1E Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ID" 50 ----------------------BC368B1E Content-Disposition: form-data; name="FName" File.doc ----------------------BC368B1E Content-Disposition: form-data; name="FileLength" 4096 ----------------------BC368B1E Content-Disposition: form-data; name="FileData" <File Contents> --------------------BC368B1E-- The FileData contains the contents of a file being sent to the script. It works for sending text files, but when sending binary files, it stops at the first null byte. I tried parsing it using php://input and $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA (always_populate_raw_post_data is On in php.ini), but neither of these are set. Is it possible to get the contents of binary files POSTed this way in PHP? I can't change how the data is sent from the device. Our ASP page is able to do this with the same POST. Also, inserting binary data using odbc into a MS SQL Server database fails if the data has null bytes. We are using Apache + PHP on Windows.
