I don't understand the debug page address [message #46701]

but why when I debug a page I get anddress on the browser like

http://localhost/webtest.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DB GP&KEY=11882540471401

since the same (and clear/correct) address works if it is simple

http://localhost/webtest.php

?

This is the way Xdebug works. In order for XDebug to know if a script is being debugged
it looks for the cookie XDEBUG_SESSION being set. If it is then it will debug
a script. By placing the XDEBUG_SESSION_START onto the url, tells xdebug to emit the
XDEBUG_SESSION cookie to your browser.

The KEY entry is to handle the situation where the eclipse internal web browser would
cache the page and just reshow the same page unless the url was different.

but in this way I get that the $_SESSION["REQUEST_METHOD"] is GET (also if
the form use a POST method) and the page is the first time load, that means
that $_SESSION["REQUEST_METHOD"] should not be GET nor POST.

I cannot know if the page is a "first" navigation or a "submit" request :(

In the first navigation I'd like to do some operations and others of them
only in the submitted time, but I cannot know the difference!

Or there is some way?

Thanks

Actually you can know - by setting the *name=* attribute of the button
will cause the it's *value=* to be sent to the server.
Then you can check
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
// It's a post using this button
} else {
// assuming it's first load
}

-- errata corrige: I talked about $_SESSION["REQUEST_METHOD"] but it is
$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] --

Yes, you told me a solution, but:
- this require the fact that I'm working with POST and not with GET, and
this is not sure.
- the first load told me that there is a GET, but it's false.
