While nothing instantly pops out, a few suggestions :
Try using $_REQUEST as it checks $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE
Also - since you can't write output to the browser due to the PDF being created - how 'bout a debug file on the server?
Open it for writing and output the entire set of arrays to the file and check from your favourite text editor.

I have a PHP generated web page which has a submission form. When the form gets submitted the action is $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and the method is POST and one of the form elements is an INPUT with TYPE=SUBMIT and NAME=somename and VALUE=somevalue.
My problem is that on the odd occasion (when it happens then it is quite consistent but it hasn't happened for a few months now, suddenly it has started again), the PHP script does not deliver a $_POST array and hence when I go to check the status of $_POST['somename'] I get a failure when I should get a success.
The really odd thing is that when I try to debug it using phpinfo() or even a print or echo statement, just before the status check by getting the script to print out the value of either the entire array or $_POST['somename'] then it prints the detail fine and the status check succeeds, but if I print it after the status check then there is no $_POST array at all.
Unfortunately I can't even use a dummy print statement to fool it because the successful processing needs to generate a PDF output and that must have no prior output.
Bloody odd.
