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.
