Why do you need to know exactly if the data is from GET or POST?
Does your program use POST urls with variables in the url?

If yes, did you not take care to have different variable names?

I know one thing: the data comes from the user.

Why mention cookie here? He can manipulate everything.

I taught an interface programmer how to test my forms with curl,
see here http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html especially the
--get and --form options.

$_REQUEST is not more dangerous than programming in PHP. q.e.d.
