hi, thanks for your reply
unfortunately, this page is at the origin of my question... so unfortunately it doesn't help, but thanks anyway

Can something like this be done?

PHP Code:

$roughHTTPPOST = php://input; 


I hope you know what I'm trying to do now.

Yeah, had a look at the page myself and couldn't really see any examples. Can't even find any on google and I've never used it before, so unfortunately can't help you

You can use it the same way as it shows on that page for php://filter, in other words:

PHP Code:

$roughHTTPPOST = readfile("php://input"); 


That works for me, anyway. Try this little script to see if it works for you:

PHP Code:

<?php
if(!isset($_POST) || empty($_POST)) {
    ?>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="">
      <input type="text" name="textfield"><br />
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    <?php
} else {
    $roughHTTPPOST = readfile("php://input");
    echo $roughHTTPPOST;
}
?>
