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.
