will dump $_POST (and everything else) to the browser.

And you could, at some point in debugging, use var_dump($_POST).

But in the normal course of events, the data in $_POST isn't sent
"back" to the browser by PHP under the hood.

That said:  You should not be cramming things into $_POST.

$_POST is what comes *FROM* the browser.

Treat it as "read only" unless you want to make yourself miserable
down the road some day.

What are you putting into $_POST and why?

And how does that communicate from one script to another???

Are you cramming things into $_POST and then passing them on through
cURL or something???
