$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA - xml

[gilad]

I am trying to pass an xml structure via a form to php script where I am unable to populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
( $xml = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA).
I would prefer not to force population of this variable via php.ini.
It may be connected to the encryption type, but I don't know.

Sample of the simple form I am testing
<form action="<?php echo ($postto);?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cxml-base64" value="<?php echo (base64_encode($xml));?>">
</form>

Can't see why you're wanting to use RAW_POST_DATA...

Doesn't $xml = $POST['cxml-base64']; work? Or $xml = base64_decode($POST['cxml-base64']); for that matter?

Thank you for your reply,
This script is going to be called from various locations and I don't have control over the form field names. All that I will know is that XML has arrived and needs to be examined and acted upon.
