php://input is null though url parameters are sent

Question

(I'm trying to debug why php is not accepting posts from remote sources, even though allow-access is set in .htaccess)

The input stream appears to be null though parameters are sent...

In an empty file:

<?php echo file_get_contents("php://input"); in file.php returns null when variables such as file.php?foo=bar are appended to the .php file...

Should this not return null, as variables/parameters are being sent?

I think some code reads php://input before you. From php.net A stream opened with php://input could only be read once; php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php — Hakan SONMEZ

I believe file_get_contents("php://input"); will work only with POST requests.

For the case of query parameters, ?foo=bar would be available via $_GET
