Generating dynamic object/emded tags

Here's a method of generating dynamic object/embed tags from name value pairs (POST or GET):
http://www.someplace.com/some.php?sw1=hello&sw2=world

This:
<?php echo_msie_params(); ?>

...will output:

       <param name="sw1" value=hello>
       <param name="sw2" value=world>

While this:
<?php echo_netscape_params(); ?>

...will output:

       sw1=hello
       sw2=world

<?php
function echo_msie_params() {
        global $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS;

        if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=='GET') @$http_vars = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
        else @$http_vars = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

        foreach (array_keys($http_vars) as $key) {
                $val = stripslashes($http_vars[$key]);
                echo "\t<param name=\"$key\" value=$val>\n";
        }
}

function echo_netscape_params() {
        global $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS;

        if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=='GET') @$http_vars = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
        else @$http_vars = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

        foreach (array_keys($http_vars) as $key) {
                $val = stripslashes($http_vars[$key]);
                echo "\t$key=$val\n";
        }
}
?>
