RE: [PHP] Looking for a reasonable explanation as to why $_REQUEST exists

["Jay Blanchard" <jblanchard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

[snip]
When you use register_globals it extracts the vars from get, post, 
cookie and session, or used to. But, I don't think session vars are in 
$_REQUEST.

$_REQUEST is no different than $_POST or $_GET from a security
standpoint. And using register_globals did not carry a security risk as
long as the programmer did every responsible thing with regard to that
input.

$_GET['foo'] 
$_POST['foo']
$_REQUEST['foo']
$foo
 
It is all a matter of how you handle foo, the rest is semantics.
