Study Notes
Handling HTML Forms in PHP
- There are two methods to handle HTML forms in PHP: GET and POST.
Difference between GET and POST
- The main difference between GET and POST is the way the data is sent to the server: GET sends data through the URL, whereas POST sends data in the request body.
When to Use GET
- Use GET when retrieving data from the server, as it is more efficient and can be cached.
- GET is suitable for non-sensitive data, as it is visible in the URL.
When to Use POST
- Use POST when sending sensitive data, such as passwords or credit card information, as it is more secure.
- POST is suitable for updating or creating data on the server, as it allows for larger amounts of data to be sent.
Limitations of POST
- POST has limitations on the amount of data that can be sent, typically around 2MB to 8MB depending on the server configuration.
- POST requests cannot be cached, and are generally slower than GET requests.
