## #28062 — Gregory Beaver — 2007-02-17T04:24:44+00:00

Hi all,

While porting improvements of run-tests.php into the pear run-tests
command, I noticed that there are no tests for the php://input stream in
PHP_5_2 (didn't look at HEAD yet), so I thought I would offer one if it
is useful.

At the same time, I found a flaw in the implementation of POST_RAW,
patch attached.  Basically, \n is appended to all lines including the
last line.  The patch corrects this by appending \n to all but the last
line so there is no trailing whitespace.

Here's the new test:

--TEST--
php://input
--SKIPIF--
<?php if (php_sapi_name()=='cli') die('skip'); ?>
--POST_RAW--
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
userid=joe&password=guessme
--FILE--
<?php
var_dump($_FILES);
var_dump($_POST);
$fp = fopen('php://input', 'r');
$a = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
var_dump($a);
?>
--EXPECT--
array(0) {
}
array(2) {
  ["userid"]=>
  string(3) "joe"
  ["password"]=>
  string(7) "guessme"
}
string(27) "userid=joe&password=guessme"
