How to fetch POSTed data?

[sl1m]

Hi

I have a PHP page at my server which receives the code shown below.

The problem is that the POSTed data isn't placed inside a variable, so I can't fetch it by $_POST['variable_name'] for example.

Anyone know how to get the posted data somehow?

Thanks in advance!
Simon
