I have finally started coding with register_globals off (crowd roars -
yeay!).

This has created a situation that I am not sure how I should handle. I
have scripts (pages) that can receive an input variable from the POST
array (initial entry) or it could be in the GET array (go back and
re-edit a form, for instance.)

In my old sloppy scripting days this was no problem, as I had
register_globals on and would merely access the the input variable by
it's local name (whether it was POST or GET made no difference).

What's the best way to handle this situation where I am not sure if the
input variable is in the GET array or the POST array? My guess is to
test for the presence of the variable (isset, != '') in either array and
then copy it to a local variable from that array.

Is that the best, only, or most efficient way to handle that?
