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=value1name2=value2 ...
Is this correct?
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?

If so, how are the value's encoded? Is each value surrounded by
? Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding
)?
I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through
the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea. For
example:
$words = Cheese is good;
echo 'a href=yep.php?motto='. urlencode($words) .'hi/a';
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:
