$_GET vs $_POST

[osusano]

question if im going to use curl() this means it is $_POST value right?

and if im just going to visit the URL with the parameter i can get it by $_GET?

i dont know if im correct but i have problems with my curl and the other site is reading only $GET value means from the url itself.?

what do u think?

Hi Osusano

According to the documentation (http://uk.php.net/curl), CURL is set to use POST as default. If you look at the user comments, you'll see that you can indeed use CURL and GET, but you have to define the constant CURLOPT_HTTPGET, at least that's what I understand.

To the best of my knowledge - and I just checked - there is no such function as curl(). I think you want curl_setopt().

If you just want a URL with a parameter, just do this: http://www.example.com?var=x&var2=y and then pick up the variable in your code using $_GET[].

Sorry not be of more help. What is it you're trying to do?
