This question already has an answer here:
How to send xml file from vb.net that can be caught using $HTTP_ROW_POST
in PHP?
My script is:
Public Function PHP(ByVal url As String, ByVal method As String, ByVal data As String)
Try
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
request.Method = method
Dim postData = data
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
dataStream.Close()
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
reader.Close()
dataStream.Close()
response.Close()
Return (responseFromServer)
Catch ex As Exception
Dim error1 As String = ErrorToString()
If error1 = "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined." Then
MsgBox("ERROR! Must have HTTP:// before the URL.")
Else
MsgBox(error1)
End If
Return ("ERROR")
End Try
End Function
But I can not capture it in the PHP file using $HTTP_ROW_POST
.

Don't set the content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
as it would imply key=value
pairs sent in the request body. Set it to application/xml
because that is what you're sending.
Imports System.Text
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim resp As String = PHP("http://localhost/test.php", "POST", "<xml>test</xml")
System.Console.WriteLine(resp)
End Sub
Public Function PHP(ByVal url As String, ByVal method As String, ByVal data As String)
Try
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data)
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
request.Method = method
request.ContentType = "application/xml"
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
request.GetRequestStream().Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim responseFromServer As String = (New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())).ReadToEnd()
response.Close()
Return (responseFromServer)
Catch ex As Exception
Dim error1 As String = ErrorToString()
If error1 = "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined." Then
MsgBox("ERROR! Must have HTTP:// before the URL.")
Else
MsgBox(error1)
End If
Return ("ERROR")
End Try
End Function
End Module
works well with the php server script
<?php
$c = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo 'got: ', $c;
