Re: (HELP) Reading a file sent through HTTP

It's coming in as a binary file, as i mentioned before in some examples, perl reads the file with read (STDIN, &$request, $length); an asp example uses Request.TotalBytes to get the size then does a BinaryRead() then in a for loop converts it to a string. This is all well and good for them but i can't find php code to compare this too. This is being done to read a cxml request from a ariba site (if this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know), some project that was assigned to me, easy enough unfortunately these guys don't have examples in php on how to do this php so i am at a loss as to how to retrieve this info. Sorry for any confusion. Pretty much my reaction when i saw this stuff for the first time too. The CONTENT_TYPE is text/xml so something is getting through the way its supposed to be. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rasmus Lerdorf" <rasmus@php.net> To: "Fabian Raygosa" <fabian@getacard.com> Cc: "Php-General@Lists.
