Re: Separating GET and POST parameters

Taking different actions depending on whether a parameter was passed  
by GET or POST seems like a bad idea from the standpoint of code  
readability and coherence...and it will make your application non- 
portable, since most application frameworks will just merge the  
arguments. I'd recommend not going down this path.
