just out of curiousity:

the ‘php//input’ thing does work when i test locally. But I have two questions for you.

1- why wouldn’t $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA; work?

is it a setting on the server?

I’m asking because I just uploaded a site to a client’s server and nothing at all php works (heh) mail, ^that^ or anything. Just wondering if there are options on particular php setups that can disable things like that (http requests or something?)

yes. Note in http://us4.php.net/wrappers.php

“php://input allows you to read raw POST data. It is a less memory intensive alternative to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and does not need any special php.ini directives.”

it does work a charm here on my testing server, but i can’t seem to make so much as php mail() work on someone else’s server.
