Sample request coming from SL:

CODE

http://www.website.com?var1=tuna&var2=cat


PHP code:

CODE

<?
$var1=$_POST['var1'];
$var1=$_POST['var2'];

echo $var1.' '.$var2
?>

$_REQUEST is a better way to go since you can then use POST or GET interchangably without the need to rewrite your serverside code.

Enjoy! :p

I had problems receiving the $_POST data on my server but this comment on the wikki helped, thanks VeloxSeverine! :)

Wikki Reference

From: VeloxSeverine

This function currently as of preview 1.9.1 doesn't pass the Content-type or Content-length headers, making it impossible for PHP (not sure about Perl, Ruby on Rails, Cold Fusion, etc.) to parse POST data automatically and place it into the $_POST superglobal array. I've wrote a simple PHP snippit to replicate what PHP does. Currently it's not multidimensional, but if somebody wants it I'll write that in too. This should work on all servers. Also, look into using llEscapeURL to escape your data especially if it contains unsafe characters (such as spaces, or ampersands), but beware of its limitations; you may wish to write a wrapper function to make sure you do not encounter it.
CODE

<?php
$p_data = implode('', file('php://input'));
$p_data = explode('&', $p_data);

foreach ($p_data as $p_val) {
    $d_parts = explode('=', $p_val);
    $_POST[$d_parts[0]] = urldecode($d_parts[1]);
}

// All POST variables now loaded into $_POST and can be processed normally.
?>
