There is a post on this site (named "Post Var and XML Madness") about reading XML sent via POST from a Flash movie file. I have tried that solution, and it does work, but only if PHP has enough filesystem privileges to create a file to write the XML into before reading / parsing. If you are managing multiple browsers and sessions however, I can forsee the filesystem getting quite cluttered and inflated...
Is there a better way to read XML data sent to PHP via POST? One downfall of the other method I tried is that there must be at least one attribute declaration in at least one XML element, in order to use HTTP_POST_VARS to concatenate a key / value pair to recreate the XML. (I guess that's not a problem as long as your XML always has attributes but...) I guess I'm really just looking to find a solution that avoids writing the XML to an external file. can PHP read XML from POST vars any other way? Thanks!
