Easiest and most flexible way to do this is to include at the top of your
script:
<?php
$debugging = TRUE;
$from_command_line = !strlen($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
if ($debugging && $from_command_line)
include "test_post_vars.php";
?>
Then populate test_post_vars.php with your $_POST variables. For example:
<?php
$_POST['username']='henry';
$_POST['password']='secret';
?>
You may want to include various other parts of debugging code later on in
the file using "if ($debugging)" or "if ($debugging && $from_command_line)".
Never use just "if ($from_command_line)" though!
e.g.
<?php
if ($debugging)
{
echo "\n<pre>\n";
echo "\n<b>\$_POST</b>\n"; var_dump($_POST);
echo "\n<b>\$_GET</b>\n"; var_dump($_GET);
echo "\n<b>\$_COOKIE</b>\n"; var_dump($_COOKIE);
echo "\n<b>\$_SERVER</b>\n"; var_dump($_SERVER);
echo "\n<b>\$_SESSION</b>\n"; var_dump($_SESSION);
echo "\n</pre>\n";
}
?>
at the end of your code can be useful.
When finished debugging, just set $debugging=FALSE.
