Wow that's a lot. Why would you do that?

I don't think that it really matters. At least in PHP I haven't
seen any problems even if you don't read anything (provided you
don't care about the AGI environment and responses).
Maybe PHP slurps the input into a buffer which will be garbage
collected if you don't use it.
