Can someone explain me why when i POST RAW Data for example "test.txt" in the below script
<?php
echo file_get_contents("php://input");
?>
it only prints the text "test.txt" instead of the file contents of that file?
Thank you

Your code reads the contents of the raw POST data and echoes it back.
Whereas what you want is this:
// retrieve the requested filename
$fileName = file_get_contents("php://input");
// echo the contents of the requested file
echo file_get_contents($fileName);
Depending on what you're trying to, you may wish to sanitize the $fileName
input (not shown: too broad) and restrict access to a specific local directory:
$path = $myLocalDirectory . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $fileName;
if (file_exists($path) {
echo file_get_conents($path);
}
