CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I get a lot of these in error log

PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is
deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this
warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use
the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0

As I understand it, the warning shows whether or not the feature is used, and changing the php.ini file would hide the warnings. however, when searching the CMSMS (2.1.4) file tree, i found it used in soap.php in root directory. Now I'm wondering, am I stuck with an old file, or is it meant to be this way?

The soap.php file in the website root was afaik last used in the 1.9.x series and can be removed if you don't use the NuSoap module in later versions. You don't have that module in the list, so you can remove the file. Or if you are not sure rename the file and delete later.

This is not an issue per-se with CMSMS. But ajax requests TO a php file will generate it. They don't even need to be requests that are handled.

It requires a php.ini file change to hide the deprecated warning.

Thanks, guys. i renamed soap.php, and the host updated the php.ini file. 24h later, still no complains .....

Btw ... there's no other module inside forge which needs NuSoap module or soap.php so they ...

Not all CMSMS module are released via the Forge... People (other than the onces in this thread that read this later) can have their own developed modules or delivered by the website developer. I can't see that from here and now, so better be on the safe side.
