Summary
CGI is a class that is used to give GET and POST auto-generated
variables their own distinct namespace, so as not to conflict with other
auto-generated variables, such as Cookie data.  The CGI class gets its data
from the $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS hashes.

Example
$cgi = new CGI;

// if a variable called 'query' was passed to this script, it can
// be accessed this way:
echo $cgi->query;

// or you can use the 'param' property to retrieve all of the names
// of the variables passed to this script:
foreach ($cgi->param as $p) {
	echo $cgi->{$p};
}

public array $param

Summary
Contains a list of the names of all the variables passed to the
current script through either the GET or POST methods.

public CGI () -> void

Summary
Constructor method.

public parseUri () -> array

Summary
Takes the global $REQUEST_URI variable and parses it as if
each subdirectory listing is a key/value pair, separated by periods (.),
and adds these pairs as properties of this object, and the keys to the
param array.  Any subdirectories that do not contain a period are returned
as extras.

public translateUri (string $uri, string $lose) -> string

Summary
Takes an ordinary URI with GET parameters in it, and returns
a URI compatible with the parseUri method.  The optional lose parameter
is a comma-separated list of key/value pairs in the URI to lose, but
not from the parameter list (the stuff that follows the ?), but from
the first part of the URI.
