April 27, 200718 yr comment_4824 Thanks kalpz for some reason I forgot to add $_POST and $_GET to avoid any confusion I have replaced my original post. Note: Most books refer to $_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE these are separate arrays as you rightly point out $_REQUEST can be used its advantage is that it incorporates all three of the above. Report
