Andre is correct, Apache doesn't actually do anything with web-pages (of any
flavour) all it does it << serve >> them. The code in the pages themselves
determine what to display on-screen to the end-users.
Just in case it's any use, in PHP you would use:
$_POST for forms sent using POST method, or you could use $_GET for forms sent
using GET method.
Andre is also correct in your question not making sense!
It seems like you are asking: "I can use $_POST to get POSTed forms but how do
I get the data from POSTed forms?"
Perhaps this snippet will help your PHP code:
switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
case "GET":
$variable = $_GET['element'];
break;
case "POST":
$variable = $_POST['element'];
break;
}
If you need more PHP help, I suggest you check out www.php.net which is their
official portal. Has all the commands and lots of examples too.
Good luck!

Short answer : no. Apache does not set up an environment value with the
content of a POST.
But in fact the question does not make much sense.
In the case of a POST, the data may include, for instance, the whole
content of a 30 MB uploaded file.
There must exist some method in PHP to obtain this data, but that is a
question best asked on a PHP forum.
