Get info from a form

Postby EY » 04 Aug 2008, 02:51

I was wondering if it was right to use $_POST to get info from an html form.

If not what should be used instead?

$_POST is fine. But ALWAYS sanitize your data anyways. :)

Shouldn't you use request_var() unless you are checking for submit :?:

If in phpBB, yes, he's right you should use request_var().

(Keep forgetting this isn't a general programming forum :D )
