$_request

[The Hobo]

According to the manual:

consisting of the contents of $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES.

However, $_REQUEST[] won't work for me with cookies:

echo "User is: " . $_COOKIE['user'] . "<br>"; //will give "User is: Kristopher"

echo "User is: " . $_REQUEST['user']; //will give "User is: "

second works for me

[The Hobo]

Well that's a bucket of pee. I guess I just stick with $_COOKIE[];

[Gimlin]

you cant request a cookie

What?

[Gimlin]

I you cant $_REQUEST[a cookie] you have to use $COOKIE[the cookie]

I could be wrong.

$_REQUEST['variable'] only works for $_GET['variable'] and $_POST['variable']
It will not grab $_COOKIE['variable'], $_SESSION['variable'], or $_FILES['variable']

Or so I think. It may grab $_FILES['variable'] but I never have tested it for that purpose

[chrisjk]

Interesting though that the manual says it does include $_COOKIE, and $_FILES

[phpman]

exactly. I always thought so too but never could get it to work with cookies or files. I think the manual is a misprint myself.

funny it tells you that but then it tells you to use $_cookies for cookies and $_files for files.

but the last I checked it will only work for get and post

[cpradio]

btw, while we are on the subject, are $_POST,$_GET,$_REQUEST,$_COOKIE,$_SESSION,$_FILES case sensative?

[phpman]

yes they have to be capitals

[The Hobo]

Yeah, that's (the manual) why I thought you could.
