Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server

[Mike Bonner]

Its been a while since I messed with sessions, but that looks right.  I
seem to vaguely remember that there is some version of LC server where
sessions is broken, but I can't recall for sure.  What version of server
are you running?   (IIRC sessions was implemented some time around 4.6.3?
And a later version was broken and later fixed)  I'll see if I can relocate
the info.
