$HTTP_POST_VARS['command']

Mar 18th, 2008

Hi There,

Can anyone explain to me this line of code? What is it used for? etc..

$HTTP_POST_VARS['command']
The text that I saw it in doesn't explain it...

The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
~ Confucius, The Confucian Analects

It's a variable contained in the super global array array $HTTP_POST_VARS for php versions prior to 4.1.0.

"command" in this case, is just a variable named: command, which would be passed back to the script from some web page using the http post command.

Lookup: $HTTP_POST_VARS in the php manual.
