At the top of the file put..... if( is_array($_POST) ) $pArray = $_POST; else $pArray = $HTTP_POST_VARS; Then access $pArray["fred"] where ever you want to? And yes, I know this creates a second copy of the post array in local memory (wouldn't pointers be nice right about now), but if the post array is going to be accessed a lot, it would seem to be faster to copy it once than to call the function over and over. :)
