Fwd: Help! Reading from stdin

Fort some reason it looks as if this message never got posted with a body ... dg Begin forwarded message:

From: David G. Simmons <santafen@mac.com> Date: April 13, 2004 5:16:40 PM PDT To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Help! Reading from stdin Please respond directly, as I'm only on the digest and need an answer ASAP! I'm trying to read a file (currently sent to me via curl) and am having trouble. It worked once or twice, but not anymore. The curl command could be either: curl --data-binary <file-name> http://hostname/reader.php OR curl http://hostname/reader.php -T <file-name> Neither seem effective. I have tried (all from the php online docs): if(!isset($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'])){

        $GLOBALS['StdinPointer'] = fopen("php://stdin", "r");

} else die("Don't have stdin!\n"); And it does not die. So stdin is open. BUT: do {

        $data = fread($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'], 8192);
        $data = fread($fpf, 8192);
        if (strlen($data) == 0) {
                echo "got no data!\n";
                break;
        }
        $contents .= $data;
        echo $data;
    } while (true);

gets NOTHING. So I tried:

        if($DEBUG) echo "_FILES: " . print_r($_FILES);
        echo "Userfile: " . $_FILES['userfile'] . "\n";
        if($DEBUG) echo "HTTP_POST_FILES: " . print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
        $uploaddir = '/tmp/';
        $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);

Thinking maybe the file was being sent as a POST ... but this ALSO gets nothing ... I cannot figure out what's wrong, and would appreciate ANY help!!! dg -- David G. Simmons Calvin Says: "No, thanks. I'm trying to reach middle age." -'Dad' --
