[PHP] RE:$_Request from 4.3 to v5.x

[Dennis Gearon]

Isn't $_REQUEST the same as the old GPC variables in global namespace? A 
way to get requested variables without paying attention to whether they 
came in via cookies, post, or get?

That's been my understanding so I've been using $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE 
instead, because that way I  don't have to worry about GPC order AND I 
can use GET and POST together at the same time.

Folks
I am currently using 4.3.7.
I have a script which accepts three POSTed variables from a basic form.  Under 4.3.7 
the script
runs fine and the variables are successfully passed to the script.
I am testing 5.0 C3 and receive the following error 

PHP Notice: Undefined index: searchtype in c:\http\cgi\list7.php on line 13
<script language='php'> 
 $searchtype = $_REQUEST['searchtype'];  -- this is line 13
 $searchterm = $_REQUEST['searchterm'];
 $matchtype  = $_REQUEST['match'];

Any suggestions on the best way to access data input into a FORM in version 5.x would 
be most appreciated.
Mike
