 Hi, Toby,
 
 Well, as you just said:
 
 "... why create a new array when $_POST already exists (and is conveniently a
 superglobal!)?"
 
 :-)
 
 People are used to using $_POST; adding another variable in its place makes
 things more confusing.  Additionally, if you ever need to merge in other
 routines which use $_POST, you'll need to change that code.
 
 The result could end being that some of your code uses $_POST and some doesn't.
 This can rapidly become confusing.
 
 And BTW, $origpost won't be a superglobal.
