Re: $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] empty when using post?

"...So there's no better way to get the string when using post other
than
compiling it yourself?..."

What do you mean "compile it yourself". You get the QUERY_STRING - but
it happens to be blank - that's just the nature of a POST. It's not
inconveivable that your Form's "action" looks like this:
"http://somehost.com/form_handler?sentby=page1&remotesite=true"

Here your $_GET array would be comprised of:
$_GET['sentby']='page1'
$_GET['remotesite']='true'

Your Query String would be "sentby=page1&remotesite=true" and the
$_POST array would hold the contents of the form vars.

It would be pretty easy to "compile" a post's query string:

foreach ($_POST as $a => $v)
     $postQueryString.= ($postQueryString=="" ? "" : "&" ) ."$a=$v";

Not sure why you'd want to do this, but there it is. BTW, the value of
QUERY_STRING is set by your web server - PHP just gives you access to
it.
