`$_POST` is an associative array. As per language design, you access the elements of such an array with the square bracket syntax: `$_POST["key"]`. – domsson Apr 16 '17 at 22:36

$_ variables
Built-in variables that begin with $_ are so-called superglobals:
Superglobals are built-in variables that are always available in all scopes
[] syntax
$_POST is an associative array. As per the language design, accessing elements of such an array is performed via the square bracket notation:
echo $_POST["key"];

OP: *"Is there any explanation why this " %_ ""* - and not `$_` unless that was a typo on their part; to which the duplicates cover all these. – Funk Forty Niner Apr 16 '17 at 22:41

@Fred-ii- I'd assume it was a typo, seeing how the title refers to `$_POST`. But yeah, question is a duplicate anyway, what am I even doing here. :) – domsson Apr 16 '17 at 22:42

My explanation is: $_ and Square Bracket are part of the syntax. Every language has syntax = rule of writing. Authors of a programming language are authors of the syntax.
