Some weird stuff happens when you try to chain ternary operations. Not awake enough to explain it better right now. What it sounds lik eyou're looking for is $_REQUEST. This will give you the correpsonding GET or POST value (as well as cookie, environment, etc.. google it). It's probably good to try to structure things so you have a predictable and controllable way so you know whether you're going to be getting GET or POST data. Some cases required 'either' but in general, one or the other should be good enough if your code is structured properly. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: buzon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:41:24 -0700 Subject: recover values independently of GET or POST used > I am using some expressions to load the value of a parameter when > called, independently if used GET or POST method, using something like: > > <?php > $mydata = (isset($_GET["mydata"])) ? $_GET["mydata"] : > (isset($_POST["mydata"])) ? $_POST["mydata"] : 0; > echo $mydata; > ?> > > The problem occurs with above code if I call it like: > thispage.php?mydata=something , the answer is null (not even '0'). > > But If I change it to: > > $mydata = (isset($_POST["mydata"])) ? $_POST["mydata"] : > (isset($_GET["mydata"])) ? $_GET["mydata"] : 0; > > It works, but only with GET method, not post. > > > What is going on? > > Everytime must be an if/elsif/else routine?
