Changing values of $_POST considered bad style?

[petermichaux@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I thought that $_POST was read only. I just descovered I can change the
values of it's elements. Is this considered bad style? Seems like this
might be something that is outlawed in the future.

Thanks,
Peter

I don't think there's any inherent restrictions on the superglobal
arrays -- they're the same as any other array.

I suppose it doesn't hurt anything if your code is well thought out,
but I would avoid doing it just because it can lead to confusion and
bugs in your code.

Hi ZeldorBlat,

Thanks for the opinion! (I don't know why Obvious is so torqued.)
