[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Request problem; where is the data?

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi again,
using $_REQUEST (with your snippet), I get this. What's that?

array(2) {
  ["__utma"]=>
  string(54) "81555458.1737773788.1225666548.1225666548.1225666548.1"
  ["__utmz"]=>
  string(69) "81555458.1225666548.1.1.utmccn=(direct)|utmcsr=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)"
}
