You probably should be URL-encoding your data in the first place... http://php.net/urlencode <?php $data = "&whatever funky characters you want": $data_url = urlencode($data); //WRONG: $URL = "http://example.com/$data"; //RIGHT: $URL = "http://example.com/$data_url";; If it's not feasible for your C++ application to replicate urlencode() then you may be able to get what you want with that http_raw_post_data stuff. You'll have to search on php.net for something not unlike "raw post data" until you find it, as I don't have the ULR in my head. But you'd be 100% better off to follow the standards and url-encode the data in the first place -- Especially if you're ever going to re-use this code elsewhere, and MOST especially if you ever might want to hook up YOUR code to another person's server that actually follows the standards.
