It's not a problem with the PHP script. You can try a post with curl,
LWP, etc and it works just fine.
There's obviously something about the format of the POST request
generated by Apple's example code that PHP itself does not like. What
I don't know, however, is whether the POST request is totally rfc
compliant and PHP has a bug, or if the request is invalid in some way
and PHP is acting appropriately (and CGI::param() just happens to parse
it anyway, per chance).
The URLs i posted with example perl/php scripts are just bare-bones
examples to illustrate the problem.
The actual script in question has been successfully in use for quite
some time now - I'm rewriting a Windows application for OS X.
Thanks

Sending POST requests with CFHTTP functions seems to have a serious
problem with PHP - the parameters sent are not recognized. Perl's
CGI.pm, on the other hand, can parse them just fine with param();
The PHP docs say this:
// Available since PHP 4.1.0
echo $_POST['username'];
echo $_REQUEST['username'];
import_request_variables('p', 'p_');
echo $p_username;
// Available since PHP 3. As of PHP 5.0.0, these long predefined
// variables can be disabled with the register_long_arrays directive.
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
// Available if the PHP directive register_globals = on. As of
// PHP 4.2.0 the default value of register_globals = off.
// Using/relying on this method is not preferred.
echo $username;
What PHP version are you running? Did you try other alternatives for
obtaining parameters?
