Determining called vie GET vs POST

[prosys]

I know there is a way to determine which method was used to fetch a page/script. I just don't seem to be able to find any examples. Anyone know a simple and reliable way?

What I am looking for is something like:

if $QUERY_STRING {
// method = GET
do something;
} else {
// method = POST
do something else;
}

Please pardon my syntax; I have posted to the Newbie section for a reason 😉

This is how you do it:

1. Don't use $QUERY_STRING, it is depreciated.

2. You will be testing the php defined variables $POST, $GET
   These variables are of the type array.

3.

if(empty($_POST) && empty($_GET)){
    // neither is set
   echo " There is neither get or post vars.";
} elseif(!empty($_POST)){
   echo "There are post vars.";
} elseif(!empty($_GET)){
   echo "There are get vars.";
}

I just knew it had to be something simple like that.

Thank you very much. 🙂
