I was very pleased to receive an e-mail from hostgator today, in which they stated that they will be upgrading all servers to have MySQL 5 and PHP 5 installed by default! I hope this will send out a message to the other hosting firms, which would finally allow us to start using PHP5 in all our opensource projects.
The title may be a bit too harsh, but it still remains a funny sight! Using the latest anti-phishing, the google adsense page is being blocked by Internet Explorer 7. You are recommended not to continue - and perhaps to use live search instead, we all know it’s better anyway!
Since HostGator does not support changing the value of always_populate_raw_post_data in PHP to “1″, I had to find a work around. After spending an hour Googling my issue and it turning zero-dot-zero results I was forced into being creative.
Appearantly you can use the input wrappers to go around this setting. Perhaps you could find this useful in the future
| 0 | <php |
| 1 | if(!$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA){ |
| 2 | $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(’php://input’); |
| 3 | if(empty($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)) |
| 4 | { |
| 5 | // die here |
| 6 | } |
| 7 | } |
