Re: Insert record using a var - basic question :(

dunno why before didn't work

Tks a lot, nik

If the page is submitted with a POST method, then your values will be
available in $_POST. If it's submitted with a GET, or blank method
then the values will be available in $_GET.

The 'action' URL in a POST form may also contain a query string, so the
script would receive both GET and POST data.

In most cases, you can
just use $_REQUEST, which will access $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE globals.

In most cases using $_REQUEST is a really bad idea, since you don't know
where your data is coming from.

If you expect a URL parameter, use $_GET. If you want to access a cookie
value, use $_COOKIE etc. $_REQUEST is useful only in very rare cases.
