Are there any other ways to retrieve data from a form other than $_POST, $_GET, and $_REQUEST?

Not that I know of... What other ways would you want?

Oh and $_REQUEST is basically $_COOKIE $_POST and $_GET together

There's the $_FILES array for file uploads from a form. Why? What are you trying to do?

I've noticed much of what I've been coding lately is very similiar (form handling).

I've been working on creating a class that'll create froms - each textbox being linked directly to either an existing SQL (for editing) table or a new one (for creating).

On the form submit I've been using POST method and having the action be a generic "handler" php file. I was just curious if there are any other methods to accomplish taking the values from a form element and into the php world.
