Read Post Data Without a Variable name?

[vbkris]

o.k,
i have a flash file that is sending data in POST method to my PHP file. the catch is that the data is not assigned to a variable.

in GET method the query string would look like this:
test.php?Variable=Value

but flash sends it as:
test.php?Value

No variable. If its get method atleast i amy be able to read the location and do something but the method is post. how can i just flush the entire post data?

the ASP equivalent being:

FormSize=request.TotalBytes
FormData=request.BinaryRead(FormSize)
response.binarywrite(request)
set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Type = 1
objStream.Open
objStream.Write FormData
objStream.SaveToFile server.mappath("TheFileName"), 2
objStream.close
set objStream = Nothing


this will save the Post Data to the TheFileName file...

I don't think you get access to this information, at least not in an apache/php setup.... I'm pretty sure it's just assumed to be malformed and thrown away.

echo '<pre>';
print_r($GLOBALS);

on your receiving script is the best way I can think of to check for yourself... it's pretty much all the information you have available.

You can at least narrow it down..

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_REQUEST);

You might also try just the individual $_POST and $_GET arrays.. sometimes php gets a little tricky when deciding what gets put into $_REQUEST.

Or how about

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

skiflyer and dustin:
i have just tired ur code, i will see how it can be manipulated.

chessboot:
the GET method was just an example as to how the variables are in the POST method.

i also found a HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA method , but it has got its own bugs...
