Who made up this rule?


Illphrased on my part. I meant that you shouldn't use $_REQUEST because it's a superglobal container. If you know it's a normal URL parameter, use $_GET, because that's where it's supposed to be. If the same parameter is also passed in $_POST and in $_COOKIE, using $_REQUEST is going to do majestically wrong things.
