RE: [PHP] the new variables

[John Holmes]

Do whatever you want, whatever is easier for you.

I'd use $_GET['var'], personally, just because it's a waste of time and
memory to assign it to another variable, plus you don't have to worry
about passing variables to function, classes, etc...

Re: [PHP] the new variables

[Philip Olson]

There is no better or worse.  The new superglobals 
were introduced in PHP 4.1.0.  Use them how you wish.  

Also consider extract() and/or import_request_variables().  
Personally I like:

  import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');

Which in your example would result in:

  print $r_var;

But it depends, going through predefined variables 
everytime can be fun too.
