Answer 1

Just add:

$post = str_replace( " ", "_", $post );

Before:

$post = str_replace( "&", " ", $post );

The username will result with _s so you may want to convert them back to spaces before the return:

$username = str_replace( "_", " ", $username);

This will replace _ with a space as well.

The best way to do this is actually using an explode.

list($username, $password) = explode('$', $post);
