In Netbeans 8 I get the warning: Avoid using super global

I get this warning in NB whilst using $_POST. Does any one know any alternatives? or is it just the validation requirement?

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your reply.

The message was "aviod using supergloblas". So I have used filter_input and filter_input_array(). So NB8.0 is happy.

If anybody wants to know the code that I have used let me know.

Thanks again!

Are you getting "Avoid using super global" or "Do not access superglobal $_POST array directly" . I haven't seen the warning to avoid use all together, but I see the warning about direct access a lot. Make sure that you are in some way sanitizing or filtering the $_POST array before using the data. If you are not already doing so with your own functions, then at least us: filter_input
