The word "form" seems a bit out of place (even though it appears in both multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded), because this function is mainly targeted at PUT/PATCH requests for REST APIs. Maybe request_body_populate_globals? > Another option for the name: populate_multipart_form_data(). I avoided the term "multipart" because the function technically also works for application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests. It's less necessary for the reasons outlined in my previous email, but it would allow for consistent handling of such requests for all HTTP methods. Some people on GitHub voiced that they would prefer an INI setting. Therefore I will create an RFC accordingly. Ilija
