:-) I think he misunderstood your question or something. There are a few different ways to do what you want to do. First, if you dig through the output of phpinfo(), you can usually determine what the exact request was, though it is not going to be obvious unless you know what you are looking for. In the case of a POST request, you will need to have always_populate_raw_post_data turned on in your php.ini to see the POST data. Another method is to use a utility such as tcpdump on your Web server. This works very well except when you need to capture a specific HTTP request on a busy site. The method I choose is to use software specifically created for this purpose. Most software to do this functions as an HTTP proxy, so that you configure your browser to use it for a proxy, and it reveals the HTTP requests and responses that pass through. I wrote a basic one of these that embeds the HTTP transaction into the page itself, so that you do not need to reference a log and can just scroll to the bottom of each page to see both the request and response. It is written in PHP (as a CLI application), and you are welcome to take a look and see if it would be useful to you - http://protoscope.org/.
