[PHP] Help! Reading from stdin

[David G. Simmons]

Please respond directly, as I'm only on the digest and need an answer ASAP!

I'm trying to read a file (currently sent to me via curl) and am having trouble. It worked once or twice, but not anymore.

The curl command could be either:

curl --data-binary <file-name> http://hostname/reader.php

OR

curl http://hostname/reader.php -T <file-name>

Neither seem effective.

I have tried (all from the php online docs):

 if(!isset($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'])){
        $GLOBALS['StdinPointer'] = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
 } else die("Don't have stdin!\n");

And it does not die. So stdin is open. BUT:

do {
        $data = fread($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'], 8192);
        $data = fread($fpf, 8192);
        if (strlen($data) == 0) {
                echo "got no data!\n";
                break;
        }
        $contents .= $data;
        echo $data;
    } while (true);

gets NOTHING.

So I tried:

if($DEBUG) echo "_FILES: " . print_r($_FILES);
echo "Userfile: " . $_FILES['userfile'] . "\n";
if($DEBUG) echo "HTTP_POST_FILES: " . print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
$uploaddir = '/tmp/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);

Thinking maybe the file was being sent as a POST ... but this ALSO gets nothing ...

I cannot figure out what's wrong, and would appreciate ANY help!!!
