title: jQuery.post() - Trouble sending post data
body: <p>I have a html file with the following javascript code to call the jquery.post function and post some data to test.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
        $.post("test.php", { name: "John", time: "2pm" }, function(data) {
           alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
         });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>test.php is as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
     echo "Name: ".$POST['name'];
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, my alert only shows "name: " without sending back the post data.</p>
  
  <p>Using firebug, however, I can see that the post data is in fact being sent. So I'm very confused as to why $POST isn't working in my php file.</p>
