Remote post operation

Anon

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Is there an equivalent to ServletInputStream in php??? I'm trying to do a remote post operation and I'd like to see what the request looks like (when it gets to the remote server), because the file-type and filename are arriving just fine, but with no contents... This means that $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] has only 2 elements: name & type. any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!!!

Did you read the manual about handling file uploads?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

PHP can get all the headers using getallheaders
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getallheaders.php

I know that you can get the headers. The problem is not with the headers. They are arriving just fine. The problem is getting the entire Input Stream to check how the body has arrived. The code'd be:

$sk = fsockopen ($server, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$sk) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
}
else{
$boundary="------------------".md5(uniqid(rand()));
$body="$boundary\r\n";
$body.="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\"\r\n\r\n";
$body.="2000000\r\n"; //just to make sure...
$body.="$boundary\r\n";
$body.="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"example.html\"\r\n";
$body.="Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
$body.="<head>example</head>\r\n";
$body.="$boundary--";
$headers="POST http://$server/$RemoteUpPage HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$headers.="Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n";
$headers.="Content-length: ".(strlen($message))."\r\n";
$headers.="Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=$boundary\r\n";
$headers.="Host: $server\r\n\r\n";
$headers.=$body;
fputs($sk, $str, strlen($str));
while(!feof($sk)){echo fgets($sk,80);}
fclose($sk);
}

what I get if I write in $RemoteUpPage the following:

while ( list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']) ) {
echo "<li>$key : $val\n";
}

would be:

name : example.html
type : text/html

and that's it. No $userfile_name or size (the file is not being uploaded)

Thanks in advance

sorry, where it says: strlen($message), should be strlen($body).... and the contents of the file should include the html tag (it seems that it's being parsed when posted)

Try changing your file-tag name from userfile to something else. (sounds silly I know, but try it)

I tried, but it doesn't seem to help. It's weird, because I don't think HTTP_POST_FILES should contain the name of the file and its type if nothing has been uploaded. I'd understand this if the contents was 'none' or null, but it has received the whole request body. It doesn't seem to like something I'm not aware of.

Thanks anyway.

(btw I'm using Iplanet on the main server and Apache on the backend... maybe this is the problem??? I know it shoudln't be but now I'm completely lost...)

Maybe PUT???

This works perfectly for me,
try it and see.

error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo '<pre>';
print_r(getallheaders());
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
echo '</pre>';
?>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="a.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000000">
Send this file: <input name="myfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>
<?
exit;
