I am surprised this works. STDIN is a pipe and can?t be stat?ed for file size.

I would suggest instead using file_get_contents("php://stdin").

One of the reasons decided to use the fstat method as it was the only documentation I could find on the STDIN subject that I could make sense of (new to this). This post was my source.: http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2007/03/19/using-php-cli-for-textmate-c....

Also, php.net's explanation offered the following, further making up my mind:

"php://stdin, php://stdout and php://stderr allow direct access to the corresponding input or output stream of the PHP process. The stream references a duplicate file descriptor, so if you open php://stdin and later close it, you close only your copy of the descriptor--the actual stream referenced by STDIN is unaffected. Note that PHP exhibited buggy behavior in this regard until PHP 5.2.1. It is recommended that you simply use the constants STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR instead of manually opening streams using these wrappers."

I just plugged your recommendation in and it works fine. Thanks for the tip.
