Determining GET or POST

[gerardg]

I need to know whether to get variables from $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTTP_POST_VARS. Anything better than:

if (sizeof($HTTP_GET_VARS) > 0)
$formvars = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
} elseif (sizeof($HTTP_POST_VARS) > 0) {
$formvars = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
}

... or ...

$formvars = array_merge_recursive($HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS);

...?

There's also register globals but I don't want to use that.

Try
if($REQEST_METHOD=="POST"){
$method="post";
}
elseif($REQUEST_METHOD=="GET"){
$method="get";
}

something like that

that's fine... or you could just use the $GLOBALS[] array. This way you don't care if the values came via GET o POST.

It depends on what you're trying to do.

Thanks- didn't see that. Wonder if other servers besides apache set it? No big deal, don't plan on using another for a while.
