For various scripts, I need the ability to read *all* variables that have
been sent to a .phtml page (for example a Form Email page with unlimited
number of fields). That feature is *really* needed.

$argc should contain the variable count,
$argv[0] ... $argv[$argc - 1] (???)  should contain variable name and
variable content (for example:
 $argv[0] = "FIELD1=Test"
 $argv[1] = "FROM=email@address.com"
etc

or:
 $argv[0] = "FIELD1"
 $argv[1] = "Test"
 $argv[2] = "FROM"
etc.

The feature is already there.  The $argc/$argv variables are only for GET
method arguments.  To get what you want, compile PHP with --enable-track-vars
You will then have three associative arrays available on all your pages:

  $HTTP_POST_VARS
  $HTTP_GET_VARS 
  $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS

You can step through these with the key/next/prev functions.
