Is there a cake method for file_get_contents() ?
ex : $input = file_get_contents(‘php://input’);
Your going to need to use the File and Folder classes. They’re deprecated but will survive until v5. Or work out your own code with php directly.

What’s the problem with just using file_get_contents?

No problem. It works perfectly.

There’s the HTTP client, but it’s maybe meant for more complex cases. “CakePHP is PHP”, so if there’s a fine PHP way of handling things, then they don’t generally make an extra layer on top of that.
$request->input()
you can do for instance $jsonData = $this->request->input('json_decode');
* ```
*
* Any additional parameters are applied to the callback in the order they are given.
*
* @param callable|null $callback A decoding callback that will convert the string data to another
* representation. Leave empty to access the raw input data. You can also
* supply additional parameters for the decoding callback using var args, see above.
* @param array ...$args The additional arguments
* @return mixed The decoded/processed request data.
*/
public function input(?callable $callback = null, ...$args)
{
$this->stream->rewind();
$input = $this->stream->getContents();
if ($callback) {
array_unshift($args, $input);
return call_user_func_array($callback, $args);
}
return $input;
