Does it make sense to pass $_POST as a parameter?

Question

PHP

Does it make sense to do this:

function process($request_data)
{

}

process($_POST);

Or is it better to use $_POST right away in the process function if it's a superglobal anyway?

Answer 1

Using global variables in functions is generally bad practice, one should try to keep the principles of purity of functions , which excludes the use of global variables inside them.
