A question about forum designation

Post by pilau »

I am having a diffculty deciding where to put a question regarding uses of the $_REQUEST superglobal. I don't know whether to post it in the PHP - Code forum or the PHP - Theory and Design forum.
Where should such a question go?

If it is more code specific, the likely place is PHP - Code.
If it is more conceptual, then Theory is probably the right place.

I guess that could be one for theory and design. It depends upon what context you're asking the question in. Do you want to know what it is or do you want to discuss it's pros and cons? I guess the latter so post in Theory & Design ;)

REQUEST is somewhat evil - You could put it in PHP Security, then I'd have an excuse to ramble about why its bad...;) Theory looks appropriate at first glance though.

It is evil indeed. I did use it for the first time in 2 years just a couple of weeks back though ;)

Well yeah I've heard it's a security issue, so I was wondering on what forum should I ask about this. Thanks, I'll post that question now in the theory and deisgn forum. Feel free to rant, Maugrim :P
