Re: using stdin to get POST content in module version

Hi Mathieu, There is an array defined as $HTTP_POST_VARS. you can also access any form element by it's name, so, for example: <input type="text" name="crap" value="foo bar"> withing your accepting script, $crap will contain "foo bar". create a file called phpinfo.php and put in it: <?php print phpinfo(); ?> then load this up on your web server, you will see all the CGI variables. -jeremy brand Jeremy Brand :: Sr. Software Engineer :: 408-245-9058 :: jeremy@nirvani.net http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more Get your own Free, Private email at http://www.smackdown.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they're designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler. --Dennis Ritchie On Fri, 15 Dec 2000, Mathieu Poumeyrol wrote: > Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 12:38:08 +0100 > From: Mathieu Poumeyrol <poumeyrol@idm.fr> > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] using stdin to get POST content in module version > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to use POST method to get data (raw data, not a file, so I > can not use <input type="file">) to my database through a PHP script. > > Php is running as an apache module on my computer (a linux box), and I > wonder what is the module equivalent of stdin for cgi.
