A few predefined variables that may interest your are :
  CONTENT_LENGTH : The length in bytes of the content being 
                   passed (set by the client), available as an
                   environment variable for CGI scripts.
  HTTP_POST_VARS : An associative array of variables passed to 
                   the current script via the HTTP POST method.
  HTTP_GET_VARS  : An associative array of variables passed to 
                   the current script via the HTTP GET method. 
More Information on predefined variables can be seen here :
  PHP Manual : Predefined Variables                             :

A Faqt exists on accessing these variables :
  Can I access Environment Variables from inside PHP scripts    ?
