Question

I’ve been going through tutorials and reading up on how to POST android data into MySQL, and I’ve only seen people use $_REQUEST[‘something’] when passing variables. Why is it only $_REQUEST? and not $_POST? is it the same thing? I’m still learning all the goodies between both android development and php,

If someone can kindly explain, that’ll be awesome,

Thanks!

As @Krishna pretty much answered it in the comments above:

By using $_POST we can only get POST variables and $_GET we can only
get GET variables. When we use $_REQUEST can get variables in GET & POST.
