If the originating web page has issues a POST, then
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] will equal 'POST'

Your php code can only extract from the POST values that were set by
the web page when it issued the POST. It can't demand a specific value,
but it can establish whether or not the page supplied a specific value.

Say, for instance, you expect that the page will supply a text string
in a variable called 'TextString', you can check to see if
$_POST['TextString'] is set, and validate it's contents.

So, your php logic might look like

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
if (isset($_POST['TextString']))
{
/* validate the contents of $_POST['TextString'] */
}
else
{
/* page didn't supply 'TextString'. Handle this situation */
}
}
else
{
/* page didn't POST. Handle the situation. */
}

Note that $_POST is an array, so you /can/ iterate across the values in it

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
foreach ($_POST as $pKEY => $pVALU)
{
/*
** $pKEY is the subscript to $_POST,
** $pVALU is the value carried by $_POST[$pKEY]
** use $pKEY to choose your $pVALU validation criteria
*/
}
}
else
{
/* page didn't POST. Handle the situation. */
}
