I tend to use $_REQUEST to capture a lot of my data, as I end up mixing
get and post a lot throughout my code. $_REQUEST is an amalgamate of
$_COOKIE, $_GET and $_POST (in that order I believe, with $_GET
overwritting $_COOKIE, and $_POST overwriting $_GET). This is especially
useful when altering how a form sends data. Only today we had to update
a form to use GET instead of POST, as IE managed to break the back
button because of the POST values not auto-submitting. It would have
meant a lot of code changes had $_REQUEST not been used.

Arrgggg.
I was thinking you were up there with the PHP greats until you said that. :-0
I never use requests -- you simply don't know where the data is
coming from and that presents a possible security risk as well as
confusion if you have to review/trouble-shoot the code later.
Am I wrong?
