A quick-n-dirty method is to prepend a known letter to the data, like an "A": data=A&ÑÚA Then, ignore the first character of the data, since it is known to be the "A" character. I would think that if the data contains an "&" in the middle of the data, you may not be getting all the data. "data=ABC&xyz=123" $_POST['data'] = "ABC" $_POST['xyz'] = "123" DanB
