Dangerous stuff. Had php injection attacks like:
?-dallow_url_include%253don+-dauto_prepend_file%253dphp://input
due to this
Annexe M. Liste des protocoles supportés
Cette section recense une liste de protocoles gérant les URL, qui sont intégrés dans les fonctions d'accès aux fichiers, dans PHP. Par exemple, les fonctions fopen() et copy(). Ces fonctionnalités sont compilées comme des gestionnaires externes, et à partir de PHP 4.3.0, vous pouvez créer vos propres gestionnaires, avec la fonction stream_register_wrapper().
Système de fichiers
Toutes les versions de PHP. Explicitement avec le protocole file:// depuis PHP 4.3.0.
/path/to/file.ext
relative/path/to/file.ext
fileInCwd.ext
C:/path/to/winfile.ext
C:\path\to\winfile.ext
\\smbserver\share\path\to\winfile.ext
file:///path/to/file.ext
Filesystem est le gestionnaire par défaut de PHP et il représente les fichiers locaux. Lorsqu'un chemin relatif est spécifié (un chemin qui ne commence pas par /, \, \\, ou une lettre de lecteur Windows), le chemin sera calculé relativement à la position courante. Dans de nombreux cas, c'est le dossier de résidence du script, à moins qu'il n'ait été modifié. En utilisant la version CLI, le chemin sera calculé par rapport au dossier d'appel du script.
Avec certaines fonctions comme fopen() et file_get_contents(), include_path peut être scanné pour y trouver les fichiers, si un chemin relatif est fourni.

For php://filter the /resource=foo part must come last. And foo needs no escaping at all.
php://filter/resource=foo/read=somefilter would try to open a file 'foo/read=somefilter' while php://filter/read=somefilter/resource=foo will open file 'foo' with the somefilter filter applied.
/**********************************/
Example JSON Request:
{
"username" : "rakeshnsony",
"password" : "abcdefg"
}
/**********************************/
<?php
//To access json format data
$requestBody = file_get_contents('php://input');
$requestBody = json_decode($requestBody);
echo "username is: ".$requestBody->username;
echo "<br /><br />";
echo "password is: ".$requestBody->password;
For https for windows enable this extension:
extension=php_openssl.dll
When daisy-chaining wrappers, I've found that the stream context only applies to the outside wrapper. For example, the following code will not work:
<?php
$options = array('http'=>array('header'=>"Accept-Encoding: gzip\r\n"));
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$html = file_get_contents('compress.zlib://http://example.com/resource.gz', 0, $context);
?>
The context in this case is useless for the compress.zlib:// wrapper but it does not get applied to http:// and the header will not be sent.
The stream php://temp/maxmemory:$limit stores the data in memory unless the limit is reached. Then it will write the whole content the a temporary file and frees the memory. I didnt found a way to get at least some of the data back to memory.
You can decompress (gzip) a input stream by combining wrappers:
eg: $x = file_get_contents("compress.zlib://php://input");
I used this method to decompress a gzip stream that was pushed to my webserver
Not only are STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR only allowed for CLI programs, but they are not allowed for programs that are read from STDIN. That can confuse you if you try to type in a simple test program.
to create a raw tcp listener system i use the following:
xinetd daemon with config like:
service test
{
disable = no
type = UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
bind = 127.0.0.1
port = 12345
wait = no
user = apache
group = apache
instances = 10
server = /usr/local/bin/php
server_args = -n [your php file here]
only_from = 127.0.0.1 #gotta love the security#
log_type = FILE /var/log/phperrors.log
log_on_success += DURATION
}
now use fgets(STDIN) to read the input. Creates connections pretty quick, works like a charm.Writing can be done using the STDOUT, or just echo. Be aware that you're completely bypassing the webserver and thus certain variables will not be available.
followup:
I found that if I added this line to the AJAX call, the values would show up in the $_POST
xhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type',
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
Example of how to use the php://input to get raw post data
//read the raw data in
$roughHTTPPOST = file_get_contents("php://input");
//parse it into vars
parse_str($roughHTTPPOST);
if you do readfile("php://input") you will get the length of the post data
In trying to do AJAX with PHP and Javascript, I came upon an issue where the POST argument from the following javascript could not be read in via PHP 5 using the $_REQUEST or $_POST. I finally figured out how to read in the raw data using the php://input directive.
Javascript code:
=============
//create request instance
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
// set the event handler
xhttp.onreadystatechange = serviceReturn;
// prep the call, http method=POST, true=asynchronous call
var Args = 'number='+NbrValue;
xhttp.open("POST", "http://<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?>/webservices/ws_service.php", true);
// send the call with args
xhttp.send(Args);
PHP Code:
//read the raw data in
$roughHTTPPOST = file_get_contents("php://input");
//parse it into vars
parse_str($roughHTTPPOST);
For reading a XML stream, this will work just fine:
<?php
$arq = file_get_contents('php://input');
?>
Then you can parse the XML like this:
<?php
$xml = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($xml, $arq, $vs);
xml_parser_free($xml);
$data = "";
foreach($vs as $v){
if($v['level'] == 3 && $v['type'] == 'complete')
$data .= "\n".$v['tag']." -> ".$v['value'];
}
echo $data;
?>
PS.: This is particularly useful for receiving mobile originated (MO) SMS messages from cellular phone companies.
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.
Example use:
$httprawpostdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
When reading a base64 encoded stream using php://input, be aware that you do not need to decode it, it will automatically be done for you.
php://stdin supports fseek() and fstat() function call,
while php://input doesn't.
Be aware that contrary to the way this makes it sound, under Apache, php://output and php://stdout don't point to the same place.
<?php
$fo = fopen('php://output', 'w');
$fs = fopen('php://stdout', 'w');
fputs($fo, "You can see this with the CLI and Apache.\n");
fputs($fs, "This only shows up on the CLI...\n");
fclose($fo);
fclose($fs);
?>
Using the CLI you'll see:
You can see this with the CLI and Apache.
This only shows up on the CLI...
Using the Apache SAPI you'll see:
You can see this with the CLI and Apache.
If you're looking for a unix based smb wrapper there isn't one built in, but I've had luck with http://www.zevils.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/libsmbclient-php/ (tarball link at the end).
When opening php://output in append mode you get an error, the way to do it:
$fp=fopen("php://output","w");
fwrite($fp,"Hello, world !<BR>\n");
fclose($fp);
The contants:
* STDIN
* STDOUT
* STDERR
Were introduced in PHP 4.3.0 and are synomous with the fopen('php://stdx') result resource.
I find using file_get_contents with php://input is very handy and efficient. Here is the code:
$request = "";
$request = file_get_contents("php://input");
I don't need to declare the URL filr string as "r". It automatically handles open the file with read.
I can then use this $request string to your XMLparser as data.
[ Editor's Note: There is a way to know. All response headers (from both the final responding server and intermediate redirecters) can be found in $http_response_header or stream_get_meta_data() as described above. ]
If you open an HTTP url and the server issues a Location style redirect, the redirected contents will be read but you can't find out that this has happened.
So if you then parse the returned html and try and rationalise relative URLs you could get it wrong.
