A possible reason for an empty   POST is that the request is not POST  or not POST anymore    It may have started out as post  but encountered a 301 or 302 redirect somewhere  which is switched to GET   Inspect   SERVER  REQUEST METHOD   to check if this is the case   See https   stackoverflow com a 19422232 109787 for a good discussion of why this should not happen but still does

To access the entity body of a POST or PUT request  or any other HTTP method     entityBody   file get contents  php   input      Also  the STDIN constant is an already-open stream to php   input  so you can alternatively do    entityBody   stream get contents STDIN     From the PHP manual entry on I O streamsdocs      php   input is a read-only stream that allows you to read raw data   from the request body  In the case of POST requests  it is preferable   to use php   input instead of  HTTP RAW POST DATA as it does not   depend on special php ini directives  Moreover  for those cases where    HTTP RAW POST DATA is not populated by default  it is a potentially   less memory intensive alternative to activating   always populate raw post data  php   input is not available with   enctype  multipart form-data     Specifically you ll want to note that the php   input stream  regardless of how you access it in a web SAPI  is not seekable  This means that it can only be read once  If you re working in an environment where large HTTP entity bodies are routinely uploaded you may wish to maintain the input in its stream form  rather than buffering it like the first example above    To maintain the stream resource something like this can be helpful    lt  php  function detectRequestBody          rawInput   fopen  php   input    r         tempStream   fopen  php   temp    r         stream copy to stream  rawInput   tempStream       rewind  tempStream        return  tempStream      php   temp allows you to manage memory consumption because it will transparently switch to filesystem storage after a certain amount of data is stored  2M by default   This size can be manipulated in the php ini file or by appending  maxmemory NN  where NN is the maximum amount of data to keep in memory before using a temporary file  in bytes   Of course  unless you have a really good reason for seeking on the input stream  you shouldn t need this functionality in a web application  Reading the HTTP request entity body once is usually enough -- don t keep clients waiting all day while your app figures out what to do   Note that php   input is not available for requests specifying a Content-Type  multipart form-data header  enctype  multipart form-data  in HTML forms   This results from PHP already having parsed the form data into the   POST superglobal
