You surprise me.
One of my most favourite features of php is that I don't have to know that
$x is actually in the $_GET array, or post array or cookie array or session
array or environment array.
It's not just that it seems like Perl geekery. I quite specifically do not
want my code to be specific to a particular request/calling method. To my
eyes, it is much more powerful if it can be used from a form, or a link, or
the command line, possibly with overrides from cookies or sessions, without
changing a line of code!
So, why do you want to know where $x came from?
