Doing it this way provides some security. It means that the *only* way
to get that data is via the $_POST array. So that means that your script
doesn't start off with values in variables, assume they're OK, and use
them. The old way meant someone could just run your script and preset
*any* variable, even one you didn't mean to have set by the web page. So
if you forgot to initialise $delete, but instead relied on it being null
by default, and your code has this:

if ($delete==1)
{
delete_complete_file_system ();
}

the bad guy could easily do you some damage.
