Getting SOAP request (POST body)

[Joshua Morgan]

Hey all,

I want to write my own SOAP server without using any libraries such as
PEAR::SOAP or nusoap.

My question is how do I get the soap request from the POST body? It
doesn't appear possible to do it via $_POST.

Thanks,

Joshua Morgan

I would have to say "if you are asking that question you are not
anywhere near ready to start coding a "server""!!

To fully understand the SOAP protocol, here is a good place to start:

Heh, probrably true but I managed to find it. As noted above its the
phpin:// stream in PHP that provides you with the raw POST data.
