please use the same construct as before (foreach($_POST as...)), as =

Which will show you nothing about the NULL status. NULL is a strange =

beast, an empty string ('') or false will also print nothing to your =

screen, doesn't mean it is NULL. All values arrived by a POST are a stri=
ng =

by default, and a string cannot be NULL, it can be empty though, not the=
=

same thing. NULL is actually a type of it's own (next to strings, =

booleans, integers, floats etc.).
