always_populate_raw_post_data disabled? here’s a workaround

February 11th, 2008 • php, snippets

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

[snippet]<php
if(!$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA){
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(‘php://input’);
if(empty($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA))
{
// die here
}
}
