[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Request POST and IE 6/7 issues

Right, so using your getParameterString example:

OpenLayers.Request.POST({url: printURL, data:
OpenLayers.Util.getParameterString({width:size.w, height:size.h}), callback:
function(request) {alert(request.status);alert(request.responseText);}});

should form encode width and height and it should be in the $_POST array
correct? But it isn't. My PHP script is run, Firebug says
'width=500&height=500' is posted, but $_REQUEST, $_POST, and $_GET are all
empty.

I tested the $_POST array outside of OL with:

<?php
  if( $_POST["name"] || $_POST["age"] )
  {
     echo "Welcome ". $_POST['name']. "<br />";
     echo "You are ". $_POST['age']. " years old.";
     exit();
  }
?>
<html>
<body>
  <form action="<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>" method="POST">

  Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
  Age: <input type="text" name="age" />

  <input type="submit" />
  </form>
</body>

and this worked correctly so my PHP installation is fine. I also tried using
text/plain headers to no avail. OpenLayers.Request.POST data still is not
showing up in PHP's $_REQUEST and $_POST arrays.
