Reading XML streams - El Forum - 02-11-2009

This is more a general PHP programming issue, most likely...
I'm re-writing a project that originally was processed as an ASP page.
I need to get an XML stream into a variable. Seems simple enough sounding.
My original local test setup had one script use CURL to post XML data to my CI controller. The target in the form of 'https://thissite.com/index.php/targetcontrollername'
In the controller, I could read the posted XML with:
Code:
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : file_get_contents("php://input"); // ensure the variable existsEven though the PHP 5 ini is configured to populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, it winds up being unset.
For my simpler purely local tests, the file_get_contents() call gets me my XML data, but is that the proper way to do so?
When I tried to use the CI controller as a target for the existing remote site's test environment, I get no XML to my controller.
What would be the most straightforward way to read an XML stream in a CI controller call?

I have no suggestions, sorry. I think it's time to start pulling the code to pieces and adding some echoes for debugging.

How about using PHP's simplexml.

Load the file like so:

I have no problems parsing the test streams I've posted (so far, at least).
What I am trying to determine is how to reliably read the XML stream from the page load, I am not trying to load the XML from a file.

I'm having trouble with this as well, did you find a resolution?
