Note that the HTTP request is submitted using the GET method

in the future.

So... how 'bout it? =D

I think he knows. The point is that he wants to use the POST method. You're demonstrating the GET method (the only method that BYOND currently supports).

I support the feature request, POST would be useful. =)

BYOND actually does support POST. Just change the form method to post. Although I'm pretty sure that only works in DMCGI.

I also believe that
$name = $_GET['name'];

Is a better method than HTTP_GET_VARS
I think I read it somewhere along the line.
Damn PHP for having different functions that do almost the exact same thing <.<

And yes, up with POST!

Yes. $_GET supersedes $HTTP_GET_VARS. The name is different for complicated scope reasons that I don't want to get into now for fear of hijacking this thread further. =)
