while(list = each) not working properly for $_GET inside of an ajax request?

Alright, so here is the code that I am calling from within the js file: (Yes, I know it's PHP code; My site handles js files as php with .htaccess, and then sends the appropriate content-type header to the browser to handle it at the end. I.E content-type: application/javascript)

<?php
if (count($_GET)>0) {
    print_r($_GET);
    while(list($key, $value) = each($_GET)) {
        echo $key." - ".$value."\n";
        }
    } else {
    echo "alert('no get?');";
    }
?>

My problem is this:

It outputs the array from print_r correctly, I.E:

 Array
    (
    [name%3A1] => 
    [call_id] => 0
    [_] => 1339598074533
    )

But, it refuses to use the while(list($key, $index) = each($_GET))

Any ideas why I can't go through the $_GET var? Maybe I typed something wrong? The url that the ajax request sends to is: http://preview.tinyurl.com/bnpe8fe

Also, it seems every time I use post as the type, instead of get, it doesn't send the post data correctly (it doesn't send it at all); Is there any way to use POST data with an ajax request to a js file instead of GET?

Why not use foreach? e.g.

foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
    ...
}

PHP foreach
