While yes $_POST is a supergloabal, even a superglobal has it's own scope. The scope of $_POST is to the call of the user to the web server. Therefor, no User A's information will not be overwritten by User B's information. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want any further clarification. This was just a very simplified answer.
