If I just put only this piece of code: <?php

     Are you actually posting data to it?

Actually this is the response page, i.e. a payment gateway is sending the result of a transaction to this page. Normally I expect to catch the data sent by the payment gateway using the $_POST array, i.e. $result = $_POST['result'], etc. So i wanted to check the data sent by the payment gateway using var_dump($_POST); <--- this gives me array(0) { } But if I put the other codes (lemme quote again here): filename: response.php <?php

     header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + (0*60)) . "GMT");
     header("Pragma: no-cache");
     print "REDIRECT=http://www.domaine.com/page.php?";
     $param = http_build_query($_POST);
     print $param;
     exit(0);

?>

It successfully redirects me to page.php + the properly constructed query string e.g.: http://www.domain.com/page.php?var1=val1&var2=val2 ... etc That's baffling me. Why can't I catch the $_POST data in this response.php but I get them in page.php ?? Something weird. nadim attari alienworkers.com
