I'm working on a little dice server e-mail utility for my gaming
needs.

The problem is that the content string that I send to formmail.php is
not the content string that gets e-mailed to me.

For example, the javascript generates...

Roll #1: 2d10 [10,2] = 12
Roll #2: 2d10 [3,7] = 10
Roll #3: 2d10 [9,6] = 15
Roll #4: 2d10 [9,5] = 14
Roll #5: 2d10 [7,6] = 13
Roll #6: 2d10 [1,6] = 7
Roll #7: 2d10 [6,8] = 14
Roll #8: 2d10 [2,6] = 8
Roll #9: 2d10 [10,7] = 17
Roll #10: 2d10 [5,1] = 6

But the e-mail that I get has truncated data...

Roll #1: 2d10 [10,2] =2
Roll #2: 2d10 [3,7] =0
Roll #3: 2d10 [9,6] =5
Roll #4: 2d10 [9,5] =4
Roll #5: 2d10 [7,6] =3
Roll #6: 2d10 [1,6] =
Roll #7: 2d10 [6,8] =4
Roll #8: 2d10 [2,6] =
Roll #9: 2d10 [10,7] =7
Roll #10: 2d10 [5,1] =

The dice server page uses to work properly. My guess is that my ISP
has done something to PHP on the server. I know that since I had to
change the formmail.php script to use $_POST. (Disabling global
registers) Was there a version change in PHP that would cause it to
incorrectly parse that text? Perhaps an HTML conversion that's
getting in the way when $_POST is used versus global variables?

Thoughts?
