Instead of accessing superglobals in your view, it would probably be better to pass to the View a Model object which has methods to do these kinds of actions.
In general I think it is a good practice for a View to treat data as read-only and not alter values or invoke side-effects. But there's nothing preventing you from writing a Model class with methods that have side-effects, and calling those methods from within a View script.
