Form, URL Variables Scope

[Anon]

Let's say that a form passes a variable called $testVar, and in the URL, there is a ?testVar=testValue, how can I differentiate between the two, so I know which one came from where?

ColdFusion: FORM.testVar, URL.testVar, is there something like this for PHP?

$HTTP_POST_VARS["testVar"] is from a POST

$HTTP_GET_VARS["testVar"] is from a URL (GET)

$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["testVar"] would be from a cookie.

Also, there are $HTTP_ENV_VARS, and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS which are environment and server variables respectively. Find more in the PHP manual.
