Note Submitter: vorlin at tampabay dot rr dot com ---- Just a note on $_REQUEST variables, especially in concern with $_GET and $_POST. If you have two variables of the same name, one using GET (url assignment) and the other inside a form set for POST (hidden input for example), if you try to read the variable through $_REQUEST, you'll only ever get the $_POST result. While it's easier to use $_REQUEST for variables only assigned to one area (POST/GET/COOKIE), to bypass the above problem in situations where the same variable might be called in two formats (GET/POST), one could do the following: <?php $testVar = isset($_POST['testVar']) ? $_POST['testVar'] : $_GET['testVar']; ?>
