  <p>This should be an easy one.</p>
  
  <p>I have a script, and in the script I want to determine whether the request arrive via <code>GET</code> or <code>POST</code> method. </p>
  
  <p>What is the correct way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>I am thinking of using something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (isset($_POST)) {
      // do post
  } else  {
      // do get
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But deep in my heart I don't feel this is the right way. Any idea?</p>
