Description:
------------
PHP 5.2.2 fails to ever have $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA set despite the ini setting to being On

Reproduce code:
---------------
Server:
<?php
$server = new SoapServer('myservice.wsdl');
$server->setClass('MyService');
$server->handle();

client:
<?php
$client = new SoapClient('myservice.wsdl', array('trace' => 1, 'exceptions' => 1));
try {
    $client->doSomething();
}
catch(SoapFault $e) {
    print 'Service failure, error message: '.$e->faultstring;
}

Expected result:
----------------
This should proceed with no problems, an already working service setup in a web application, functioning on both PHP 5.1.6 and PHP 5.2.1 with no issues at all.  Should produce no error.

Actual result:
--------------
Service failure, error message: Bad Request. Can't find HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

You USUALLY only see this if you access the server file (say xmlrpc.php) directly without posting any data.

Only happens with RPC stuff. (soap / xml-rpc /..). 
php://input is not affected.

>> php://input is not affected
only in start script, but in end script php://input is empty.

Are you aware that this is a *major* issue?

All our xmlrpc backends are broken because of this bug, both with pear XML_RPC and XML_RPC2.

Is there a workaround besides php://input ?

Putting this in a file all my services include seems to be working, 
but I only did this on a test machine, i will not upgrade our 
production server until this is resolved though.

if (!isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)){
    $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents('php://input');
}

I used the same fix as Jerome, 

if (phpversion()=="5.2.2") $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] = file_get_contents("php://input");

Anyway, this seems like a duplicate of a bug that appeared in 5.1.0 (cf changelog)

I just can't believe there is no unit tests for this kind of bugs that should never ever appear again.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
