PHP code to demonstrate the example of $_REQUEST superglobal variable
The source code to demonstrate the use of the $_REQUEST superglobal variable is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

//superglobal variable.
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
$country = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['country']);
printf("Country Name: %s<br>", $country);
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
Explanation
In the above program, we create a form tag with the post method that contains an input field and a submit button.
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
$country = htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['country']);
printf("Country Name: %s<br>",$country);
}
Here, we checked the request method using $_SERVER superglobal, then we get the value of the input field using $_REQUEST superglobal and then printed the country name using printf() function on the webpage.
