This "non form" is a posted response from a commercial server quoting the results of various transactions as pretty much a basic text dump. Weird I know, and it is their problem/fault, however, I'm still left having to work with it until such a time as they fix it (4 weeks, who knows why!). Also, it is not a browser calling my script, it's just that, a raw text dump from a server aimed at myscript.php
