Is using $_REQUEST a better alternative to copying $_POST variables into $_GET in PHP?

When needing to access both POST and GET variables in PHP, it is not necessary to copy POST variables into GET. Instead, you can use the $_REQUEST superglobal array which combines both POST and GET variables. This simplifies the code and reduces redundancy. 

$value = $_REQUEST['variable_name'];
