If I'm correct, 'REQUEST' will catch both 'POST' and 'GET' args. Personally, I've written a function to emulate register globals=on without actually compromising the system. It parses the arg and matches it against the various types. It helps me to maintain my lazy programming approach - not having to think about where the arg is coming from.
