I'm trying to set up a simple conditional, something like this:

Here is what I have tried:

In all of the answers given thus far, no one mentioned that the use of $_REQUEST has a security issue with regard to where the $_REQUEST originated.

$_REQUEST is an array consisting of $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE values and as such, you don't know where the data came from and that might be important.

So, wouldn't it be better to recommend that the poster use $_GET, $_POST, or $_COOKIE instead of $_REQUEST?

Just an idea -- comments?
