Bad at formulating coherent questions.....so here it goes....
Could someone explain
$fieldname = $_REQUEST['fieldname']
I understand "$_REQUEST An associative array that by default contains the contents of $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE"
I also understand you call the member of an array like so:
<?php
$arr = array("foo" => "bar", 12 => true);
echo $arr["foo"]; // bar
echo $arr[12]; // 1
?>
So I would expect that if someone wants to use something from the $_REQUEST Array they would use:
$fieldname = $_REQUEST['$_GET']
So I do not understand why "$fieldname" is inside the brackets.I suspect they might be setting this up to use $fieldname instead of $_REQUEST maybe...but why, that would be redundant? so I suspect I suspect wrong....
