Re: POST Query String

Wooohooo! Finally got it to work. I had to access the HTTP_RAW_POST_VARS variable as: $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] Found this on: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php. Someone has put a message on about RAW Post Data. This did the trick. Thanks to everyone for their help.
