Thank you for the clarification. I've used $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE before, but never $_REQUEST. When would $_REQUEST be useful? thanks, James

I'm used to using $_POST to handle my form data. In chapter 2, Mr Ullman states to use $_REQUEST. I did look up $_REQUEST on php.net and it says that it contains data for $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE. Does that mean I no longer need to bother with $_GET or $_POST and just use $_REQUEST going forward? Sorry for the amateur question. I've done some PHP programming in the past and I'm trying to get back into it (hopefully in the correct way). Thank, James
