Yeah, I figured as much. I just wondered why PHP seemed to pickup
$HTTP_ENV_VARS['USER'] now, when it didn't before (I don't think).
Anyway, I just changed my php.ini from:
variables_order = "EGPCS"
to
variables_order = "GPCS"

I can't face wading through 4 megs of code to switch to using HTTP_POST_VARS
all the time. :)
What kind of a wrapper function/class are you suggesting?

Consider it done. :)
