[Question] About $REQUEST['config']

[Dakin Quelia]

Hello,

I have a question:

The function request_var('config') is prefered instead of $_REQUEST['config']? If yes, in php file includes/acp/acp_board.php, there is a $_REQUEST['config'].

See you soon,

Yes it is prefered. It also applies for $_POST and $_GET. request_var should be used if possible.

The reason that it's still used in some cases is because it needs to. One case for this is when using isset(). The other is for some advanced array requesting, as in acp_board.

Thank you very much. I understand.
