    The variables in <varname>$_REQUEST</varname> are provided to the
    script via the GET, POST, and COOKIE input mechanisms and
    therefore could be modified by the remote user and cannot be
    trusted. The presence and order of variables listed in this array
    is defined according to the PHP
    <link linkend="ini.request-order">request_order</link>, and
    <link linkend="ini.variables-order">variables_order</link>
    configuration directives.
