Bug #52174 [Opn->Bgs]: About Predefined Variables ($_POST, $_GET...)

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52174&edit=1 ID: 52174 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: vinicius dot costa dot pires at gmail dot com Summary: About Predefined Variables ($_POST, $_GET...) -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Because you prefer to type -> over []'s? You don't make something an object just because you prefer the syntax. You make something an object if it carries methods that uniquely manipulate the data and in this case there are no such methods. _GET, _POST are simply arrays of strings and should be represented as such.

I didn't find another place in the website to say that... It's not exatly a bug, it's more for a suggestion for upgrading PHP. We have the predefined variables and the ways to access it... I think that a better way to access these variables would be as an object. Or better, it could be both ways. We usually access these variables with $_POST['data'], or session values like $_SESSION['user'], or $_REQUEST['birthday']... We could make these variables objects, like $_POST->data, $_SESSION->user, or $_REQUEST->birthday... For specific variables like $_FILES, it would be even better to access data, like $_FILES->image->size. That's something you could change in the next version of PHP. Sorry to write it here, I didn't find another place to post this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52174&edit=1
