Re: mixing $_POST and $_GET vars

Is there any particular reason that you do not want to mix both type in foo.php. I have a few that mix $_SERVER , $_COOKIE, $_POST, and $_FILES. I do not see a particular performance hit with mixing these since they are available regardless of whether they are populated or not.
