Form Debugging?

I'm trying to debug a form handler (written in PHP) and in the past
I've used a tool like cg-eye at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/cg-eye/cgeye.cgi
to test things like this.

However now cg-eye doesn't seem to be sending form data to my form
processing script.

I've looked around to see if there are any other online tools that let
you specify a URL to submit a request to, along with a list of field
name / value pairs, and that then shows the result, but I can't find
anything! There are plenty of HTTP header viewers, but they don't let
you submit form data with the request.

I've also tried looking for a program that I could run locally on my
computer but couldn't find anything suitable (plenty of sniffers but
nothing that would submit a request).

Does anyone know of anything that I could use for this kind of thing?

print_r( $_POST );

While the city slept, Nik Coughlin feverishly typed:

print_r( $_POST );

Ahh, the wonder of print_r() :-) And to make the output a little more
readable;

echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>\n";

Cheers,

Thanks for your help but I should maybe have included a bit more info
on what I'm trying to achieve.

I want something that will show me the raw HTTP headers and data that
is flowing into and out of my script.

The Cg-Eye utility that I mentioned in my original post is intended to
do this, but for some reason it's not working at the moment. If you
have a look at Cg-Eye you'll see what I mean.
