RE: [PHP] Question: $_* etc or $HTTP_*_VARS etc

Hrm. Thanks. Apparently they didn't feel like listing $_FILES here: http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.php $_GET - contains form variables sent through GET $_POST - contains form variables sent through POST $_COOKIE - contains HTTP cookie variables $_SERVER - contains server variables (e.g., REMOTE_ADDR) $_ENV - contains the environment variables $_REQUEST - a merge of the GET variables, POST variables and Cookie variables. In other words - all the information that is coming from the user, and that from a security point of view, cannot be trusted. $_SESSION - contains HTTP variables registered by the session module (no $_FILES) Ahh well. Now I know.
