Use PHP to extract the parts of the array you need, and then do a  
$_POST or $_GET to the irev/cgi using the desired variable names, just  
like you would if you were going to use PHP to navigate to another web  
page and pass variables to that page.  You might have to encode the  
characters before sending them to irev/cgi to be successful.

For example:
http://subdomain.on-rev.com/area/targetStack.irev?var1=dateStr&var2=timeStr&var3=contentStr&var4=otherDataStr

Then setup the 'targetStack' to look for both the GET & POST using the  
one that is not empty.  Now it can handle both methods of data arriving.

In August I will start working with my On-Rev account.  I have not  
actually done this, so hopefully this will point you in a useful  
direction.
