Fix: fpm-php + nginx + POST data

 When using Nginx with PHP-FPM and you need to handle POST data, you typically need to configure your Nginx server and PHP-FPM to work together to process incoming POST requests. Here's a basic setup to handle POST data with Nginx and PHP-FPM:


1. **Install Nginx and PHP-FPM**:

   If you haven't already, you'll need to install Nginx and PHP-FPM. You can use your system's package manager (e.g., apt, yum) to install them.


2. **Nginx Configuration**:

   Edit your Nginx configuration file, typically located at `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` or `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`. Make sure you have a server block configured to handle PHP requests. Here's a simplified example:


   ```nginx

   server {

       listen 80;

       server_name yourdomain.com;


       location / {

           index index.php;

           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

       }


       location ~ \.php$ {

           include fastcgi_params;

           fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;

           fastcgi_index index.php;

           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

       }

   }

   ```


   Ensure that `fastcgi_pass` points to the correct PHP-FPM socket file, which may vary depending on your PHP-FPM configuration.


3. **PHP Configuration**:

   You may need to adjust your PHP-FPM configuration to allow the handling of POST data. Open your PHP-FPM configuration file, usually located at `/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf`, and ensure the following settings are in place:


   ```ini

   request_terminate_timeout = 300

   request_slowlog_timeout = 0

   php_flag[display_errors] = off

   ```


   The `request_terminate_timeout` setting controls the maximum time a PHP script is allowed to run. Adjust it as needed. The `php_flag[display_errors]` setting is optional but recommended for security to disable error display in the response.


4. **Restart Services**:

   After making changes to your Nginx and PHP-FPM configurations, restart both services:


   ```bash

   sudo service nginx restart

   sudo service php-fpm restart

   ```


5. **Handling POST Data in PHP**:

   In your PHP script, you can access POST data using the `$_POST` superglobal. For example:


   ```php

   if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {

       $postData = $_POST;

       // Process the POST data as needed

   }

   ```


   You can access specific POST variables using `$_POST['variable_name']`.


Make sure your PHP script is handling POST data securely and according to your application's requirements.


With this setup, Nginx is configured to pass requests to PHP-FPM, which can then handle POST data as expected. Adjust the paths, server names, and other settings to match your specific environment and application.
