Forms Assignment

Understanding GET and POST Methods in PHP

Difference Between GET and POST

The GET method sends form data through the URL. When a form using GET is submitted, the information appears in the browser’s address bar as part of the query string. GET is commonly used for retrieving data, search queries, or situations where the data is not sensitive. Because the data is visible in the URL, it should not be used for confidential information.

The POST method sends form data through the HTTP request body instead of the URL. The submitted data does not appear in the address bar, making it more appropriate for sensitive information such as passwords or personal data. POST also allows for larger amounts of data to be submitted compared to GET.
