Another problem I am encountring is that when I want to check the patch at my local repository, pma login page appears. Can someone tell me what is the username and password. Thanks Michal, As per your suggestion I used the function PMA_generate_common_hidden_inputs() from libraries/url_generating.lib.php to make a token for the form and now $_REQUEST works fine.

Hi

First I think that phpmyadmin-devel is the right list for this question.

Hey guys! could anyone help me out with this problem.

Whenever I try to retrieve data from a "form" using $_REQUEST or $_POST variables when I am also including certain files at the top of the page using require_once function call, it cannot not find any values in the $_REQUEST or $_POST variables.

Whereas, if I first retrieve the same values using the $_REQUEST or $_POST variables and then include all the files using require_once function, it finds values in $_REQUEST or $_POST variables.

My problem is that I have to include those files before I retrieve data from the "form" using these variables.

I have tried to retreive data and save it in simple php variables before including the files. But those variable show values before the require_once function but do not show any value after the code lines that call the function require_once().

This is pretty strange but I hope any one of you would be able to suggest some appropriate solution for my problem.

It looks like you do not propagate token over your form, what leads to removal of all non whitelisted variables from request. Use one of functions in libraries/url_generating.lib.php to include token and other common magic in your form.
