 this is not a feature! it cannot be that wordpress just dumps his own shit
 into whatever it feels like, in this case, $_POST

 I don't think this applies in your case, but I was just having a similar
 problem. I was loading a Wordpress install along with a site so I could
 show recent posts on all pages. It turns out Wordpress escapes all $_POST
 vars, no matter what magic_quotes are set to.

 I mention it because it was frustrating to figure out, and googling for an
 answer brought me here.

 Here's how I fixed it in my case:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $temp_POST = $_POST;
 require '../www/wp_dir/wp-load.php'; // loading wordpress
 $_POST = $temp_POST;
 }}}

 please fix this or at least make it configurable to make it backwards
 compatible
