I have a simple test html form at http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.html

It use the POST method to send a name to a php script that prints the input
data in the $_POST array and from the raw input data

<?php $data = $_POST['name']; print "\$_POST: $data"; $data =
file_get_contents("php://input"); print "Raw Input: $data"; ?>

And I have a test pdf form that uses a HTTP Submit button - it also calls
the php script http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.pdf

Using 'Robert' as the test name the output from the test html form is

$_POST: Robert
Raw Input: name=Robert

The Output from the test pdf form is

$_POST:
Raw Input:
%00f%00o%00r%00m%001%00%5b%000%00%5d%00.%00%23%00s%00u%00b%00f%00o%00r%00m%0
0%5b%000%00%5d%00.%00n%00a%00m%00e%00%5b%000%00%5d=%00R%00o%00b%00e%00r%00t

I thought the Adobe Form was suppose to send standard URL-encoded data using
the POST method the same as the html form.

Where have I made my mistake?
Can someone point me to a PHP script that processes a pdf form?
