Accessing Raw XML Posted to a Script

If you have a script that is receiving posted XML for whatever reason and are trying to access this XML without any filtering, escaping etc then this is the solution you are looking for.

Instead of trying to access via $_POST etc, you can simply call the following:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. $xml = file_get_contents('php://input');

This will then allow you to load it into Simple XML for example for further processing

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. $sx = simplexml_load_string($xml);
  2. if($sx){
  3.    ....
  4. }
