It should always be the second way ($_POST['var']), although the first
way *will* work most of the time it was cause PHP to first check to
see if 'var' is a defined constant, and then a variable. If it is a
constant, it will substitute that value instead which could cause no
end of problems.
When called with: test.php?a=a&b=b the following should print out ab.
Remove the quotes from $_GET[a] and you'll see the difference.
<?php
define("a", "b");
echo $_GET['a'];
echo $_GET['b'];
?>
Best regards,
Richard Davey
