I don't know what I want but i know how to GET it.

You have to write a procedure to deal with a request that sends some value using the name "data" using either POST or GET. How can you retrieve this value:

A: $_POST["data"]
B: $_GET["data"]
C: $_REQUEST["data"]
D: $_ENV["data"]
E: by parsing $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

Answer

When you want to get the request parameters send but you don't know what method was used it is most easy to use $_REQUEST. This superglobal contains the contents of $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE variables.

Note that the behavior of $_REQUEST depends on settings in your ini file.
