Among $_REQUEST, $_GET and $_POST which one is the fastest?

Question

Which of these code will be faster?

$temp = $_REQUEST[\'s\'];

or

if (isset($_GET[\'s\'])) {
  $temp = $_GET[\'s\'];
}
else          


        

Answer 1

You are prematurely optimizing. Also, you should really put some thought into whether GET should be used for stuff you're POST-ing, for security reasons.
