All the form processors I've ever created with PHP have used $_POST or $_GET or $_REQUEST along with the specific variable names tied to the form elements. Is there a way to build a generic PHP Form processor (and mailer) that just reads everything sent over, variable names, values, and all? The idea is that it would be an ugly but flexible script that I wouldn't have to match up to the form elements by hand in the code every time.

I'm not looking for the code, just a shove in the right direction. Any ideas would be appreciated.
