Please do not encourage the use of $_REQUEST.
You might as well just tell people to enable register_globals again.
Use $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, etc. for the
appropriate source of data. $_REQUEST is laziness and introduces most
of the same issues that was the reasoning behind disabling
register_globals to begin with.
(As for dropdowns, that's just an in-browser method of collecting data
and sending the key/value pairs in POST or GET... IMHO the HTML
portion should already be known before someone steps into the realm of
PHP and server-side programming)
