Right where you would expect: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php always_populate_raw_post_data boolean Always populate the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA containing the raw POST data. Otherwise, the variable is populated only with unrecognized MIME type of the data. However, the preferred method for accessing the raw POST data is php://input. $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data". The language could be clearer I suppose, but I don't think there is any mistaking what it means there. And this is also referred to in all sorts of other places in the documentation, books, articles and code examples. I thought this was a very well established behaviour, but I guess not.
