Syntax
bool import_request_variables ( string $types [, string $prefix ] )
Parameter Description:
$types: Specifies the variables to be imported. The letters G, P, and C can be used to represent GET, POST, and Cookie respectively. These letters are case-insensitive, so you can use any combination of g, p, and c. POST includes file information uploaded via the POST method. Note the order of these letters: when using gp, POST variables will overwrite GET variables with the same name. Any letters other than GPC will be ignored.
$prefix: The prefix for variable names, placed before all variables imported into the global scope. So if you have a GET variable named userid and provide pref_ as the prefix, you will get a global variable named $pref_userid. Although the prefix parameter is optional, if you do not specify a prefix, or specify an empty string as the prefix, you will get an E_NOTICE level error.
Return Value
None.
