Backwards compability in reading requests in PHP
<p>I am experienced with web development, but not with PHP. My challenge now is therefore that I am about to move an older PHP solution to a server only supporting PHP 5.2.+. The whole solution is using a <code>$id</code> - style to read the request instead of <code>$_REQUEST['id']</code> or the <code>$_GET..., $_POST...</code></p>

<p>I wonder if this type of coding is not longer supported, or if there is something I have missed here. After I moved the solution it is not working. The variable will be blank/empty.</p>

<p>Is there an easy way to solve this, or do I have to rewrite?</p>

<p>Thank you very much if you take the time to help.</p>
