Which superglobal is used to access data sent via the HTTP POST method?

Accepted Answer

The `$_POST` superglobal is an associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method. While `$_REQUEST` (C) can contain POST data, it is a merged array of GET, POST, and COOKIE, making `$_POST` the specific superglobal for POST data.
