Question

<?php

   if(!isset($_REQUEST['filename']))
   {
     exit('No file');
   }

   $upload_path = dirname("files"). '/';

   $filename = $_REQUEST['filename'];

   $fp = fopen($upload_path."/".$filename.".wav", "wb");

   ***fwrite($fp, file_get_contents('php://input'));***

   fclose($fp);

   exit('done');

?>

I am using this example try to record audio and send it to the server. With PHP it works fine, but I want convert this code into Ruby. In this line there is (php://input), what is that mean? And what should I write same in ruby

fwrite($fp, file_get_contents(‘php://input’));
Thanks

Obviously ruby does not have the php:// stream wrapper – it’s PHP specific. So you can not port it literally.

php://input is explained here: http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php

php://input is a read-only stream that allows you to read raw data from the request body.

So for example, if that is a post request (which is normally the case), for Rails 3, the request.raw_post documentation is at http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Request.html#method-i-raw_post .
