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

[Bob Patin]

Michael,

So is there any advantage to using your method over what I used? They  
both require the file to be uploaded first...

What I was trying to get to work was this:
---
$postText = trim(file_get_contents('php://input'));
echo $postText;
---

But it never worked; I fooled with ENCTYPE, since the php.net site  
mentioned that it wouldn't work with multipart/form-data, and set it  
to text/xml, but that didn't work either, on XML or any other kind of  
text document.

It would be great if I could figure out a way to do it so that the  
file didn't have to get uploaded, which would keep me from having to  
clear these out every now and then, but so long as it works, which it  
does now, I'm at least up and running...

Thoughts welcome!

Best,

Bob Patin
