well - i do prefer using $_POST and so on, cause my code gets shorter and
therefor clearly. Furthermore i do not like typing for ages :) (which is not
really a good argument). i would not say that its a bad way, but another way
of doing things. the code-bit provided by peter lavot is useful for newer
progs on elder php-versions which do not support $_GET and so on. So it does
not convert the php-version, but make it possible to use newer codings (as i
said) on elder versions (but this code-bit also only solves the problem of
variable names and not the problem of newer methods which may come with
newer progs).
well - everybody as he/she likes most i think? anyways this does not really
belong to the phpdb-list. *sorry*
