How can the if-else statement in the PHP function be optimized to handle both POST and GET requests without differentiation?

To handle both POST and GET requests without differentiation in a PHP function, you can use the `$_REQUEST` superglobal variable instead of checking `$_POST` and `$_GET` separately. This variable contains the values of both `$_POST` and `$_GET` arrays, allowing you to access request parameters regardless of the request method used. 

function handleRequest() {
    $data = $_REQUEST['data'];
    
    if(isset($data)) {
        // Handle the data from the request
        echo "Data received: " . $data;
    } else {
        echo "No data received";
    }
}

handleRequest();
