I get the desire to disambiguate. But as an added consideration, there's a desire for consistency; when adding a -Params suffix to those names, it might then make sense to have $serverParams, $cookieParams, etc. Looking at it that way, I don't think a -Params suffix is necessary. I would think $query would be enough. As for the other name, the one for the $_POST equivalent, $body doesn't seem quite right to me; it seems a little close to $content. I've also been thinking about $values, $params, $parsedContent, $contentValues, $bodyValues, $contentArray, and other variations with and without prefixes and suffixes, but $input is the one that feels like the least-terrible alternative to $post for me, esp. given the connection to php://input. -- Paul M.
