How do I manipulate file_get_contents data?

[alohaaaron]

Hi, I'm trying to get the ["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] data after an HTTP POST from of an XML file using the commands below. Can I manipulate this data using $fp=fopen($xml,"r"); or maybe I can't because it's not a file?

$xml = file_get_contents ('php://input') or die('file_get_contents (php://input)');

$fp=fopen($xml,"r");

curl?

I don't have access to curl since the server I'm using has an old version of PHP

curl is within php since 4.02.

upgrade your server to a sensible platform and post back if you have further issues.
