Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
*Why use $_POST?*
* Variables sent with HTTP POST are not shown in the URL
* Variables have no length limit
However, because the variables are not displayed in the URL, it is not possible to bookmark the page.
*The $_REQUEST Variable*
The PHP $_REQUEST variable contains the contents of both $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE.
The PHP $_REQUEST variable can be used to get the result from form data sent with both the GET and POST methods.
*Example*
Welcome <?php echo $_REQUEST["name"]; ?>.<br />
You are <?php echo $_REQUEST["age"]; ?> years old!
