Re: handling chunked input from php://stdin

I have a server running that receives xml formatted events from other services I have no control over. For certain events the transfer-encoding is chunked. I was just doing $input = file_get_contents('php://stdin'); and this works well until there is chunked input. Then I tried $handle = fopen('php://input', "rb"); $input = ''; while (!feof($handle)) { $input .= fread($handle, 8192); } fclose($handle); And that gives about the same result, has anyone else come across this and how did they solve it? Thanks in advance

There aren't really many examples around, but check http_chunked_decode() from PECL.

simples! function HTTPChunkDecoder( $chunkedData ) { $decodedData = ''; do {

    $tempChunk = explode(chr(13).chr(10), $chunkedData, 2);
    $chunkSize = hexdec($tempChunk[0]);
    $decodedData .= substr($tempChunk[1], 0, $chunkSize);
    $chunkedData = substr($tempChunk[1], $chunkSize+2);

} while (strlen($chunkedData) > 0); return $decodedData; }
