what are the alternatives for php://input and $HTT

问题:

My hosting comp has disabled all the socket functionality except curl. They are so irresponsible on my questions for enabling it. i can think of another hosting yet i want to know the following.

I have asked a question related to this and this is a continuation yet another question.

I am unable to use file_get_contents('php://input') and always_populate_raw_post_data is disabled in php.ini so i cannot use $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

So what is or are the alternatives to get a raw post data.

For example i have setup notifications callback url with facebook. so when ever there is an event then facebook will post information to my site's specific url.

so i need to read the raw post data from facebook and according to the above description i want to know the alternatives for php://input and $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

is it possible to read total content when some body posts to my site including the header so that i can strip off the header part and can use the body of the post?

yeah... we can get the complete contents when some body posts any content.

When file_get_contents() is disabled you can use the great functionality of PEAR::PHP_Compat. It consists of an replacement for file_get_contents().

Simply download the latest package, extract it and use it like this:

require_once '/path/to/PHP_Compat-1.6.0a3/Compat/Function/file_get_contents.php';

$content = php_compat_file_get_contents('http://example.com');
