php://input fopen ok, file_get_contents not ok

sally_peh

Hi,
I need help on tis. I still can't resolve the issue of undefined index, HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA error. So I tried alternatively using php://input.
However, I could fopen php://input but couldn't access the contents of php://input.
My else statement would display echo "The file does not exist".
Another thing, how do I print out the contents of php://input?
Please advise. Thank you, Sally

Using apache server 1.3.31, php 4.3.6

My coding is as below.

//if (!($fp = fopen("php://input", "rb")))
// die("couldn't open $fp");
//else
// {
// echo("ok");
// }
//fclose($fp);

if ($data=file_get_contents("php://input"))
echo "The file exists";
else {
echo "The file does not exist";
}
echo($data);
