Check whether a request is GET or POST

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [PHP detecting request type (GET, POST, PUT or DELETE)](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/359047/php-detecting-request-type-get-post-put-or-delete) <!-- End of automatically inserted text --> This should be an easy one. I have a script, and in the script I want to determine whether the request arrive via `GET` or `POST` method. What is the correct way to do it? I am thinking of using something like this if (isset($_POST)) { // do post } else { // do get } But deep in my heart I don't feel this is the right way. Any idea?
