yup, $_GET to get stuff from the URL $_POST to get stuff from the form $_SESSION to get stuff from the session $_FILES in case you have files in your form, they will be stored here

If you're going to suggest things like that please explain the dangers. By using $_REQUEST you cannot be sure where a particular variable came from. This is less important with $_REQUEST than it was with register_globals, but it's still important to note for new users. -Stut
