Post #319,800 by drook 1/9/10 11:50:39 AM Reply	Did not know that It's been a while since I read the docs, so it's likely my recollection that "you can't change them" was based more on how you should do things than the mandates of the language. Changing a $_REQUEST value makes about as much sense as changing a $_SERVER variable. Even if you can, I really don't think you should. -- Drew

When I have opportunity (which doesn't happen as often as I would like), I refactor code that relies on that trick to not rely on that trick. Many other improvements often happen at the same time...

Oh, it's definitely *not* to avoid globals - (drook) - (1) - Jan. 8, 2010, 07:44:46 PM EST

Sounds like one of my old QuickBasic programs. =( -NT - (Another Scott) - Jan. 8, 2010, 08:28:23 PM EST

Not quite - (drook) - (6) - Jan. 8, 2010, 10:33:09 PM EST

anything special about $_request? - (boxley) - (5) - Jan. 8, 2010, 11:01:58 PM EST

Special variable in PHP - (drook) - (4) - Jan. 9, 2010, 12:32:30 AM EST

If speed counts ... - (crazy) - Jan. 9, 2010, 05:55:11 AM EST

There is, but it doesn't look like that's what is being done - (malraux) - (1) - Jan. 9, 2010, 09:18:57 PM EST

Like I told Wade, I didn't think that was an issue here - (drook) - Jan. 10, 2010, 07:15:39 PM EST
