Re: POST Query String

Hi, Thanks for the reply. As I understand, $_POST is the new way of writing $HTTP_POST_VARS since version 4.1.x or greater. If this is correct, at the stage where I have $_POST, it has already parsed the incoming query string into name/value pairs and put into the $_POST array. I am wanting the query string before it gets parsed into the name / value pairs.
