Syntax

string postget(string $name)

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

$name Name of the POST or GET variable to retrieve.
RETURNS A string from the $_POST or $_GET hash arrays with $name as the key.

What it Does

Retrieves a form variable from the $_GET OR $_POST arrays. These represent querystring and form post variables passed to a script from another page. The function first checks for the existence of a $_POST value and, if found, returns that. Failing that, it will return the value of the $_GET variable.

Function Declaration

function postget($var) {
    return (isset($_POST[$var]) ? $_POST[$var] : $_GET[$var]);
}
