Hey folks, A thread on reddit (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2jpzzj/php_56_throws_e_deprecated_by_default_for_no/) noted that in 5.6 there is an E_DEPRECATED thrown if "always_populate_raw_post_data" is set to anything but -1
There is an issue in that the default value is 0 (see: http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_6/main/main.c#641 I believe). This means that the E_DEPRECATED is always thrown in the default case, and if you've never cared about this setting, and don't use it, you may now be seeing an unnecessary warning. I'd like to set the default to -1. The php.ini-* files state: ; Always populate the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA variable. PHP's default behavior is ; to disable this feature and it will be removed in a future version. ; If post reading is disabled through enable_post_data_reading, ; $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is *NOT* populated. ; http://php.net/always-populate-raw-post-data ;always_populate_raw_post_data = -1 Being as the current default is not to populate it, and (currently) -1 has the same affect and also suppresses the E_DEPRECATED, I don't think this change is a BC issue. The other option is to only throw the E_DEPRECATED when it's set to 1 (as you are actively trying to use the feature). Thoughts? Thanks, - Davey
