$_POST empty, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA filled

[Marc Lambrichs]

We receive a POST message being a multipart/mixed type. The
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA shows it perfectly. However, I expected the $_POST to be
filled as well, which is empty. We're using php 4.3.3.

Any ideas?
Thx.

AFAIK, $_POST only gets filled if the POST type is
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Otherwise you have to decode it by
hand.

I've not tried that yet but if I were I'd shove your form data through to
phpinfo(); and check where it turns up there...

What about $_FILES?

Just a side note - if you are using 4.3.3, it's better to use php://input
instead of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. See
