This feature was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.6.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 7.0.0.
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA contains the raw POST data. See always_populate_raw_post_data.
In general, php://input should be used instead of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

what is exaclty raw POST data?
Answer:
$_POST can be said as and outcome after splitting the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, php splits the raw post data and formats in the way we see it in the $_POST For example:
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA looks something like this
key1=value1&key2=value2
then $_POST would look like this:
$_POST = array(
"key1" => "value1",
"key2" => "value2",);
At PHP 5.6+ you can suppress the Deprecated messages by setting:
always_populate_raw_post_data = -1
