register_globals = off and I want to either POST or GET a variable to a
script.
How would you assign $myvar ?

If I do this:

$_GET['my_var'];

or

if ($_GET['my_var'])
{
//
}

is my_var assigned then ?

Or do I have to do this:
$my_var = $_GET['my_var'] ;
to assign the value

And what if my_var can be either POSTed or be in the URL (GET) ?

Should I do something like this then?

if (!$_GET['my_var'])
{
$my_var = $_POST['my_var'] ;
}
else
{
$my_var = $_GET['my_var'] ;
}
