Good news and bad news. Rasmus reports on IRC: [21:57] <Rasmus_> We never buffer the data in file upload mode [21:57] <Rasmus_> it is streamed to disk, so no, you can't get it all in a variable like that [21:57] <Rasmus_> set a different content-type if you want to do that [21:57] <Rasmus_> assuming you have control over the client [21:58] <CelloG> can you do a file upload without multipart? [21:59] <Rasmus_> Well, if you want to pick a POST apart yourself, sure [21:59] <Rasmus_> set a mime type PHP doesn't understand and it will be in http_raw_post_data and then you can do whatever you want with it So the answer is "sort of." You would have to parse the POST data yourself, but it is technically a possibility.
