How do I get raw form data in laravel

Question

I have a script that is trying to send data to my site using HTTP PUT. Normally, I woudl just retrieve it by reading from the input stream with file_get_contents('php://input'). However, when I try that with laravel, I don't get anything! Why not? How do I read the raw input data?

Hii @kartik,

Laravel intercepts all input. If you're using PHP prior to 5.6, the php://input stream can only be read once. This means that you need to get the data from the framework. You can do this by accessing the getContent method on the Request instance, like this:

$content = Request::getContent(); // Using Request facade
     /* or */ 
$content = $request->getContent();

Hope it works!!
