We all know that using $ _ REQUEST directly saves the need to judge post and get some code, which is easier to use. However, if we want to think about it in detail, we will think that $ _ REQUEST is terrible. See the analysis below.
We all know that to process form data, we can use PHP's $ _ GET and $ _ POST super global variables, specifically the method specified when the form is submitted. In addition, PHP also provides a $ _ REQUEST array. But it not only contains all the data elements of $ _ GET and $ _ POST, but also contains all the data elements of the $ _ COOKIE ultra-Global Array.
But have you ever wondered, if the keys in these three groups are the same, which array value do I use $ _ REQUEST to obtain? Will there be any problems?
I will use the following code for your demonstration. Because I just want to explain the problem, we do not set $ _ COOKIE here. Please handle it by yourself:
| The Code is as follows: | Copy code |
| <? Php Var_dump ($ _ GET ['a'], $ _ POST ['a'], $ _ REQUEST ['a']); ?> <Html> <Head> <title> demo </title> <Body> <Form method = 'post' action = 'req. php? A = XXX'> <Input type = 'did' name = 'A' value = 'yyy'/> <Input type = 'submit 'name = 'submit' value = 'submit '/> </Form> </Body> </Html> |
|
When I submit a form, the page content I obtain is:
String (3) "xxx" string (3) "yyy" string (3) "yyy"
Similarly, in $ _ REQUEST, the POST value overwrites the GET value. What is the problem?
In fact, this is set in the PHP configuration file. Let's take a look at the php. ini configuration file, which contains the following content in line 466th:
| The Code is as follows: | Copy code |
; This directive describes the order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie, |
|
This EGPCS indicates the priority of the content obtained using the $ _ REQUEST array. The letter Meanings of the EGPCS are: E-generation table $ _ ENV, G stands for $ _ GET, P stands for $ _ POST, C Indicates $ _ COOKIE, and S indicates $ _ SESSION. The subsequent data will overwrite the previously written data. The default data writing method is EGPCS. Therefore, the data contained in the POST will overwrite the data with the same keywords in GET.
$ _ REQUEST [] uses the $ _ POST [] $ _ GET [] function, but $ _ REQUEST [] is slow. All data submitted through the post and get methods can be obtained through the $ _ REQUEST array.
