That is correct for GET information, but not for POST. 
POST is not passed through the QUERY_STRING like GET is.  
If you _really_ want to mimick POST (it doesn't sound 
like you do) then consider:

 Using PHP, how do I send a http POST without using a form?

I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through
the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea.  For 
example:

  $words = "Cheese is good";

  echo 'hi';

Which essentially makes:

  yep.php?motto=Cheese+is+good

More information on what urlencode exactly does and 
related information (like for htmlentities), see the 
manual entry:

No you can do

Index.php?name=apokalyptik&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&subscribe=n
o

&&

';
echo 'NAME: '.$name.chr(10);
echo 'EMAIL:'.$email.chr(10);
echo 'SUBSCRIBE:'.$subscribe;
echo '';
?>

Subject: [PHP] POST Format

This is not entirely a PHP question & I should know the answer,
but ...

I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for
simulating the data sent in a POST.  I believe the basic syntax
is

name1=value1&name2=value2 ...

Is this correct?

If so, how are the value's encoded?  Is each value surrounded by
""?  Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding
"")?

Any help appreciated.
