RE: [PHP] POST Query String

HI, $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] isn't being populated. I am thinking it is a GET operation rather than POST. To confirm all the server variables, this is how I am doing a test. 1. test.php - uses "curl" and posts to a web page and the data is "<?xml version=1.0><LOGON><USERNAME>...</USERNAME><PASSWD>...</PASSWD></LOGON>" cmd: curl -m 10 -d $data $URL -L -s $data being the XML data $URL being "receivexml.php" I have also used the PHP API's for cURL and it produces the same result. 2. The page that test.php is posting to - I'm doing a phpinfo() and capturing the output. QUERY_STRING is never set I'm afraid. That was my first thought. I thought about "glueing" together (as you say) the name and value - problem is, the key is "<?xml_version". It put in the underscore. There would be fiddling around I guess. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to ask anyone who posts XML to any of my sites to send the data in a name/value pair format. ie. STRXML=<?xml version.....>.
