The cookie and post/get part is all mixed up now :)

I use $_COOKIE when I want cookie information but I know that the data 
is not to be trusted and is easily fabricated.

When reading get or post I just use $_REQUEST nowadays because I don't 
have to care how the submitting form is written. This makes my form 
handling data more portable.
