Example
GET Vs POST
- You can access GET parameters in PHP using the $_GET superglobal.
- You can access POST data in PHP using the $_POST superglobal.
- GET requests are cacheable, meaning that the browser may cache the result, making subsequent identical requests faster.
- POST requests are not cacheable, and the browser does not store the results.
- Use GET for non-sensitive data retrieval and when you want the data to be visible in the URL.
- Use POST for sensitive data submission and when you want to keep the data hidden in the request body.
When to use get
You should use the GET method in PHP when you want to request or retrieve data from a server or a resource, and when the data being requested is not sensitive, confidential, or intended to be hidden from view.
When to use post
You should use the POST method in PHP when you want to send data to the server that is not meant to be visible in the URL and when you need to perform operations that modify data on the server or involve sensitive information.
