Variable Superglobal Work-around?

[jtgraphic]

First off, I know this script won't work. I need a to make the variable within the POST superglobal variable. I know you cannot do this conventionally, but are there any work arounds?

	if ($_POST[status]=="add_log") {
		$status_msg = "(Truck Log Submitted)";
		$status_color = "#00FF00";
		$blanks = ",''";
		$count = 1;
		$sql = "select * from truck_structure";
		$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
		if ($count < mysql_num_rows($result)) {
			$count = $count + 1;
			$blanks .= $blanks;
		}
		$date_add = date("Y-m-d");
		connDB();
		$sql = "insert into truck_log values ('', '$date_add', '$_POST[driver]', 'xx'$blanks)";
			mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
		$sql9 = "select * from truck_structure";
		$result9 = mysql_query($sql9,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
			while ($newarray = mysql_fetch_array($result9)) {
				$column = $newarray['labor_number'];
				$var = "_POST[LN"."$column"."]";
				$sql8 = "update truck_log set C$column = '$$var' where stat = 'xx'";
				mysql_query($sql8,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
			}
		$sql7 = "update truck_log set stat = 'done'";
		mysql_query($sql7,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
	}

I figured it out. For anyone that wants to know how I did it, here is the code:

	if ($_POST[status]=="add_log") {
		$status_msg = "(Truck Log Submitted)";
		$status_color = "#00FF00";
		$blanks = ",''";
		$count = 1;
		$sql = "select * from truck_structure";
		$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
		if ($count < mysql_num_rows($result)) {
			$count = $count + 1;
			$blanks .= $blanks;
		}
		$date_add = date("Y-m-d");
		connDB();
		$sql = "insert into truck_log values ('', '$date_add', '$_POST[driver]', 'xx'$blanks)";
			mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
		$sql9 = "select * from truck_structure";
		$result9 = mysql_query($sql9,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
		foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
			$varname = "frm_".$key;
			$$varname = $value;
		}
			while ($newarray = mysql_fetch_array($result9)) {
				$column = $newarray['labor_number'];
				$variable = "frm_LN".$column;
				$sql8 = "update truck_log set C$column = '".$$variable."' where stat = 'xx'";
				mysql_query($sql8,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
			}
		$sql7 = "update truck_log set stat = 'done'";
		mysql_query($sql7,$conn) or die (mysql_error());
	}
