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
and $_REQUEST to get $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE all in one

I wouldn't recommend using $_REQUEST -- it can be problematic in a couple of ways. 1) You don't know where the data came from; 2) One (GET or POST) takes precedence over the other -- I don't remember which at the moment.
