You need to access data sent via a form in your PHP script. How would you do this using the $_REQUEST superglobal?

  • Use the $_REQUEST['data'] syntax to access the form data directly.
  • Access the data through the $_GET superglobal.
  • Access the data through the $_POST superglobal.
  • Use the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] variable to retrieve the query string.
To access data sent via a form using the $_REQUEST superglobal, you can use the same syntax as with $_GET or $_POST. For example, $_REQUEST['data'] will give you the value of 'data' from the form submission. The $_REQUEST superglobal combines the values from both GET and POST methods, allowing you to handle form data regardless of the method used.

What is the while loop used for in PHP?

  • Repeating a block of code as long as a condition is true
  • Performing a specific action for each element in an array
  • Executing a block of code a certain number of times
  • Executing a block of code at least once, then repeating as long as a condition is true
The while loop in PHP is used for repeating a block of code as long as a certain condition is true. It allows you to specify a condition, and the code block will be executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false. The while loop is suitable when you want to repeat a block of code based on a specific condition, and the condition is tested before each iteration. If the condition is initially false, the code block will not be executed at all. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.while.php

What can be potential issues when working with the $_GET superglobal in PHP?

  • Security vulnerabilities due to inadequate input validation and sanitization.
  • Data loss during transmission.
  • Limited data storage capacity.
  • Compatibility issues with certain web browsers.
A potential issue when working with the $_GET superglobal in PHP is security vulnerabilities. It is crucial to properly validate and sanitize the input received through $_GET to prevent attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting. Data loss during transmission or limited data storage capacity are not directly related to the $_GET superglobal. Compatibility issues with web browsers are not specifically associated with $_GET but rather with the general functionality of web applications. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/security.php
