PHP Bug Type:     Documentation problem
Bug description:  Inaccurate $_GET array description

Description:
------------
The manual entry about Predefined variables at
http://ru.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
says "$_GET - Variables provided to the script via HTTP GET."
This is wrong. $_GET filled with data even when POST method used and
actually it come from HTTP URI's QUERY STRING.
This messed up too many people. 
I did a poll, and more than 50% answered that you can send POST and GET
requests simultaneously, proving it with this manual entry.
I'd suggest to change it to "Variables provided to the script via QUERY
STRING" or sometning more correct.
