And also note that the 5th parameter is an email address only.. Don't do
something like:
<?php
$from = "Me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
and try to use that as the 5th parameter, it won't work.

This is true. I really wanted to ask the internals folks first, to see
how it came up. I mean, if there wasn't the option available, people
would figure out a way to do it (probably one of the two ways I was
showing before)
The problem is, the cat's out of the bag now and a lot of people are
just being lazy (in my mind) especially those who are used to ASP's
Request.Value() which unfortunately is a lot of our developers at
work. They don't have a real good background as to the difference
between POST vs GET and even how the web works it seems.
That's why in the library I've created for us to use, I unset() it
before it's usable. Most third party software works okay too - off the
top of my head we've got Pligg, WordPress, MediaWiki all using hooks
into my library - a couple I did have to do a $_REQUEST =
array_merge($_POST, $_GET) on, unfortunately.

Then the question isn't really "why $_REQUEST exists," but rather,
"why do these folks have jobs?" :-\

That's the point --- it's intended as a fallback where you *don't*
know the method that will be used, or if you want to be lackadaisical
with your code (which, as we all know, is HIGHLY unrecommended).
So if you are an application service provider (ASP) who, perhaps,
runs a simple word shuffling script, with no database, email, or other
externally-processed services, you may have a script like so:
<?php
$word = $_REQUEST['word'];
echo str_shuffle($word)."<br />\n";
?>
Because, in this case, it really doesn't matter if $word is
obtained via GET or POST, so you can allow external users to use your
service via an HTTP POST form or a plain URL.
Conversely, it can also be used as a login mechanism or other
secure system, if you know what you're doing with regard to EGPCS
the C allow DoS attacks on clients via XXS/etc if $_REQUEST is used.
imagine setting a cookie "id=CANT_USE_THIS_SITE_ANYMORE" for a webshop
that has urls like "article.php?id=123" where article.php uses something like:
$id = (int)$_REQUEST["id"];
$_REQUEST is borked and should not contain ECS (of EGPCS) ... at least one
should be able to exclude certain superglobals without actually making not
set at all, currently you can't do that .. last I looked.
$_REQUEST = array_merge($_GET, $_POST); // the only sensible thing to do in all
cases.
(which I mentioned to the wrong poster before! :-\) and proper secure
coding techniques. It will go through a matter of precedence, which
can be useful in some (rare) circumstances.
but still borked in the case of REQUEST, Stefan Esser wrote about it.

Checkboxes and radio buttons only post back the values for the ones
selected.
If you have:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="checkbox" name="ids[]" value="1">Option 1<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="ids[]" value="2">Option 2<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="ids[]" value="3">Option 3<br/>
</form>
view that, and tick options 1 and 3, only they will be available in $_POST.
This has not changed in any version of php, it has always been this way
- and it will be exactly the same in perl, python, ruby and any other
language.

this is a little better:

Team,
Can anyone help me create a form, so I can just insert from a website to my
players profile database?
I am trying to learn php all over again, so bare with me please.
I just need into use form to submit player into players database.
Or, should I continue to use the phpmyadmin 2.10.1
Also, I created a position table, Should I label what position the player
has with in the player table?
IE QB = 1, RB = 2, etc.

You're absolutely right, but the problem is not about how the SID is passed between the scripts, it is more about why some
variables are written in the session file while others are not, even when these variables are created within the same script at
the same time. If the SID was not correctly passed, it wouldn't find any other variables. I also wonder why this randomly
happens ...
I agree about the HTML/1.1 specs, I'm just a bit lazy ;)

Note: Session ID is not passed with Location header even if
session.use_trans_sid is enabled. It must by passed manually using SID
constant.
