Re: $_POST And $_REQUEST

>$_REQUEST is an associative array consisting of the contents of $_GET, >$_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES Also, they are not function but arrays, as Hatem said. You can usa $_REQUEST as a "catch-all" that provides you with both what was passed to your page through the URL query ($_GET) and what was posted to the webserver through HTTP ($_POST). IMHO, it's always better to use the more specific arrays ($_GET or $_POST), because that makes your pages more accurate and, therefore, less open to possible attacks.
