For PHP 4.x sites I used my index page to capture the HTTP request and use a

I am re-designing the site using PHP5 and OO design patterns like Composite
and Builder as an example. I know these are basic patterns but its a start.
Anyway I am not sure how to capture the HTTP request and pass it to the
relevant objects. Is there a generic Œway¹ developers process the request
to call the classes and generate the needed objects in PHP5?
I'd use $_REQUEST if I were expecting to access both $_GET and $_POST
arrays frequently/equally.
__autoload() is pretty handy, keeps you from writing tons of include statements.
I agree with Greg. Although I would add that if you are using GET /
POST arguments to determine which pages to include then you minimally
want to filter to be sure they don't try to read sensitive files
(/etc/passwd, "My Documents", and the like). And since I'm paranoid I
might also want to escapeshellarg() the $_REQUEST variable you're using.
