[FX.php List] [OFF] PHP question: Pulling in text from a file

[Bob Patin]

I'm trying to do this: select a file, have PHP read in the text and  
put it into a variable.

I'm using a form, and have tried several enctypes; right now I'm  
experimenting with "text/xml" with no luck.

Question: does anyone know how to take a POSTed file and read it into  
a variable?

here's what I've got so far:

$postText = trim(file_get_contents('php://input'));
echo $postText;

Getting nothing back...

Anyone help?
