No you can do

o



?php
echo 'pre';
echo 'NAME: '.$name.chr(10);
echo 'EMAIL:'.$email.chr(10);

Subject: [PHP] POST Format

This is not entirely a PHP question  I should know the answer,
but ...

I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for
simulating the data sent in a POST.  I believe the basic syntax
is

name1=value1name2=value2 ...

Is this correct?

If so, how are the value's encoded?  Is each value surrounded by
?  Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding
)?

Any help appreciated.

That is correct for GET information, but not for POST. 
POST is not passed through the QUERY_STRING like GET is.  
If you _really_ want to mimick POST (it doesn't sound 
like you do) then consider:

 Using PHP, how do I send a http POST without using a form?

I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through
the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea.  For 
example:

  $words = Cheese is good;

  echo 'a href=yep.php?motto='. urlencode($words) .'hi/a';

Which essentially makes:

  yep.php?motto=Cheese+is+good

More information on what urlencode exactly does and 
related information (like for htmlentities), see the 
manual entry:
