Question

How can you see the type of variables: POST, GET, cookie, other?, after running var_dump($_REQUEST)?

I run the following

 start_session();
 --- other code here --
 var_dump($_REQUEST);

It gives me

array(3) { [“login”]=> string(0) “” [“sid”]=> string(32)
“b3408f5ff09bfc10c5b8fdeea5093d3e”
[“PHPSESSID”]=> string(32)
“b3408f5ff09bfc10c5b8fdeea5093d3e” }

I’m not sure I understand your question. Did you try:

var_dump($_POST);
var_dump($_COOKIE);
var_dump($_SESSION);

etc?

$_REQUEST is a different variable than $_POST and the others. Was there something specific you are trying to see?
