how to use php://input?

[yawnmoth]

I tried using php://input in the following script but nothing is output
when I run it:

<form action="test.php" method="post">
<input type="text" value="demo" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
$fp = fopen('php://input','r');
while (!feof($fp))
echo fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
?>

Any ideas as to what's being done wrong?

You're missing the name here.

I'm pretty sure that you can't get at the input data through
php://input once PHP processes it.

"$GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] contains the raw POSTed data from a

"It should be noted that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA only exists if the
encoding type of the data is -not- the default of
application/x-www.form-urlencoded, and so, to accessing raw post data
from an HTTP form requires setting enctype= in your HTML." -- mike at

http://in.php.net/wrappers.php
php://input allows you to read raw POST data. It is a less memory
intensive alternative to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and does not need any
special php.ini directives. php://input is not available with
enctype="multipart/form-data".
